Thanks to the illconsidered and improvident Johnson bill. and so race is set against race. class against class. So the very segregation and clannishness of races sought to be scotched is encouraged. It is passing strange that the Immigration Comnmittee appointed in 1907. and wdch spent several years on the question. never In its many volumes of reports even suggested discriminatory quotas based upon the census of any year. Furthermore. this bill and the pseudoscientific propaganda for It has unleashed the dogs of religious and racial hatred. If proof were lacking as to this. one need only read the testimony of witnesses that appeared before the Immigration Committee. The war and the present postwar period. both redolent with hysteria. offer the worst possible background for reasoning out the immigration problem. As a result of the ordeal of the war we are still hysterical about immigration. The ultra rastrictionist and those behind the Johnson bill claim we are a disunited people. Nothing is further from the truth.
