Mr. President. on yesterday I urged upon the Senate the importance and necessity of restricting immigration. On account of the speech made by the Senator from Missouri on yesterday and today. I feel that I should reply to some of the arguments that he has made. The time has come for action upon the vital question of immigration. Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide. In the strife of truth with falsehood. for the good or evil side. We are face to face with one of the greatest evils that has confronted us in a century. We have reached the point where alien power and influence dares to challenge that of the native stock in our country. We have reached the point where this power is employed politically to coerce Members in both branches of Congress to throw open the doors of immigration to all sorts of people from foreign countries. We must meet this issue squarely. Senators. is that influence sufficient to dominate us today?
