What measure has been denied consideration because of the policies for which this side of the Chamber is responsible? No Senator answers. Yesterday. while the pending immigration bill was before the Senate. it was announced that those in charge of it were not ready to dispose of the important issues which it involves. that. for reasons which I accept as sufficient. it was necessary to postpone the votes relative to quotas. the Japanese exclusion amendment. and all provisions in the. bill which relate to alien seamen. I repeat that the only important measure that the Senate is ready to consider is the pending bill. Yesterday. after the consideration of the immigration bill had broken down. for the reasons I have just stated. the Senate proceeded to the consideration of tie calendar. and we went through it. All bills which the Senate desired to consider under Rule VIII were disposed of. In view of these facts. which no Senator challengesand the Chamber is now full of MembersI assert that. whatever may be the view of Senators as to the necessity of investigations which our committees are conducting. those investigations have not prevented this body from considering and disposing of any important legislation.
