In a single block in New York City It Is said that 18 languages are spoken. In fact. this great city was referred to by one of foreign birth before your committee in the House. as the greatest foreign city In the world. Under thse conditions. and various other reasons. is It and should it not be apparent to every good American citizen who will consider this proposition from an unbiased and nonprejudiced standpoint that. for the welfare of this Republic and for the maintenance of our institutions. we have selt and restricted Immigration laws? Personally. I have felt that the conditions omf this country are such is to justify even suspension of. all immigration. except certain relationship. for a period of some four or five years. I think this would be justifiable. not only from tme conditions existing in this countrybecause there is no social or economic condition which will justify immigrationbut from conditions which exist in the countries from which these people come.
