I shall gladly return to the shades of private life and. thank God. take a clear conscience wi lh me. Mr. Chiralan. an emergency of a very serious nature confronts America and will continue to confront this Nation until we intelligently solve the immigration question. There is no need of fooling ourselves about this matter. We have either got to restrict and restrict hard. or close our gates entirely. if we would preserve our Republic. Those who attempt to continue an " opendoor " policy are either greatly misinformed or sufferIng from a badly twisted brand of Americanism. For years past we have deluded ourselves with the thought that America was a great " melting pot " into which people of every country and character could be assembled and from which there would pour forth a vast army of thoroughgoing naturalized American citizens. What has been the result? A visit to any of our seaboard cities will convince the greatest doubter among us that we have been having a splendid dream followed by a terrible nightmare.
