But that does not militate against the rule for which I am appealing. which is not to close the doors but to select the people. Nevertheless.. the Senator from Mississippi rather overstated the matter. unintentionally. of coursewe all take a little latitude when we are on our feetbut the fact is. taking from 1910 down to the opening of the European war. 1910. 1911. 1912. and 1913. much the larger proportion remained here. There was then a heavy emigration during 1914 and 1915. particularly of men who were undoubtedly going back to join their gwn countries in their battles. and I can not help admiring them. .for that. I think if I left the United States and was gone 50 years and this country got into trouble and I could do any good* and was able to walk. I would feel like coming back. but I would not come back if it was fighting with the country I had adopted. and in this instance. at the time these people went. we were not parties to the war.
