You admit it. you know it. I want to read just a few extracts from Mrs. Lillian Russell Moores report. which the Committee on Immigration. of which the distinguished Senator from Ohio is a member. considered. What the committee did was discourteous to Mrs. Moore. it was discourteous to the Commissioner of Immigration and to the President of the United States not to have called ii Mrs. Moore and Mr. Husband. and .let them make their reports to the committee when that matter was being considered. This is what Mrs. Moore said in part: The higher civilizations of past ages. history teaches us. succumbed to such foreign invasions as. now threaten us. Allen infiltration wrecked Rome and Greece. * * * I believe it would be a good thing for America if an immigration holiday " of five years could be declared. * * I If the present law restricting immigration by quotas from other countries is continued. it should be materially strengthened. as I have suggested.
