Mr. President. there is notihing complex about this proposition. I concede to no Senator here a greater interest in the restriction or foreign immigration than myself. I would not do anything to jeopardize legislation that will take care of the situation. but we must have courage il dealing with these questions. This is the 15th of April. The present law does not expire until tiue 3Oth day of June. so you iave a long time to legislate if you will get busy. There is not a suggestion embodied in the substitute I have offered that has not been considered by the House Immigration Connittee. More than that. there is not a suggestion embodied in the substitute I have offered that has not already been adopted by tile House inmigration Committee. If that be trueand no one will deny it- then where will any delay come from adopting a substitute that carries out the recommendations of the Commissioner General of Immigration. who says in his report that in some cases they are necessary to the strict enforcement of restriction oil immigration?
