President. some days ago I called attention to a statement which had been made that there were 200.000 unemployed in the city of New York. 75.000 of whom were exservice men. I ask that the Secretary may read a statement which I send to the desk from the head of the American Legion showing that there are 700.000 exservice men unemployed. and that he is asking the President of the United States to set aside a day in order to help remedy the situation. We are allowing between 300.000 and 400.000 immigrants each year to come into this country when at the same time several million of our own citizens. including hundreds of thousands of exservice men. are unemployed. I have heretofore urged that all immigration be stopped for live years. and I shall continue my efforts to accomplish this. I have also offered an amendment. now pending before the Senate Immigration Committee. which would require all aliens tocome to the United States in American ships. "
