And yet. Mr. Chairman. with these conditions existing in the gentlemans own State. he will stand on this floor and denounce a lawful and orderly protest against proposed legislation that all sane persons fully realized was bound to create greater abuse than sane regulation. and artfully and blandishly impugning that such demonstration was overwhelmingly foreign born. I resent his uncalledfor statement that there never will be enough aliens imported to bring about a change In the Volstead law. With the reported conditions in his emblazoned dry State as indicating the feeling of the American born. he will see in the near future when the rational native born will vote to wipe out the impossibleofenforcement. hypocritical Volstead law. which has brought about more crime and disregard for law than anything else that has occurred In the United States since the adoption of our Constitution.
