I will say to the gentleman lyho speaks for the State and district where they have no alien population. and who boasts of his onehalf of 1 per cent. that I challenge a comparison of illiteracy in that State and In that district with the illiteracy in my district or in any part of New York City. Now. let us be fair about this. If you want to protect the wages of the working people of this country. then put your restriction on all immigrants. if you want to be fair and escape the charge of discrimination. then take an average of all the races. and then you will not have to come here with a complicated chart and apologize Instead of an intelligent presentation of your bill.
