Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. on March 1 last the distinguished gentleman from Ohio made a very serious charge in this House that there existed here what he called a foreign bloc. in opposition. as he stated. to the passage or the progress of the socalled restricted immigration bill. H. R. 6540. 1 have been interested in the subject of immigration and the subject matter of that bill ever since the hearings were conducted last Christmas. week. I know. however. that there is no such thing in thisf House as a foreign bloc. To my i ind that charge is just as unsubstantial as a mirage. it is just as false as a dicers oath. and I think that the distinguished gentleman from Ohio was In error.
