Gerard. the former ambassador to Germany. who served the United States in most trying prewar times with dignity and honor. He has sent that telegram to me voluntarily. But. gentlemen. although I am chairman of the Immigration Committee. it does not apply to me alone. It applies to every Member of the House. for as chairman I am only one agent of this legislative body. It applies with especial force to every member of the Immigration Committee. which committee has the welfare of the United States. now and in the future. at heart as much as any committee. which committee sits long and weary hours. which hears the heart problems of the world. of distress at home. of horror aLroad. and which. Mr. Chairman. finds a thousand problems tied up in the great questions of immigration. naturalization. and Americanization. What other problems mean so much for the United States now. or 10 years from now. or 50 or 100 years from now? In passing.
