Chairman and gentlemen of tile committee. .1 am strongly and unalterably opposed to the bill under consideration. in its present form. To my mind it will engender a feeling of Warranted resentment among a very large percentage of our alien population. greatly disproportionate to any possible future . benefits. which its sponsors claim. but which I can not admit. Selective immigration is to be desired. it is perhaps imperative. Restrictive immigration can be defended. Its extent and its necessity are controversial. But to my mind selective restriction. based upon the theory of racial superiority or inferiority. is wholly indefensible and violative of every hitherto recognized principle of American fair play.
