We have not had very much Immigration In that Immediate section of the country since the World War. I will say to my friend that our Bohemian immigration has been satisfactory. Ah. but. say our friends opposing this measure. by this bill you violate the traditional American immigration policy. and in justification of that statement they cite Washington. Jefferson. Hancock. and many other founders of this Republic. But these gentlemen overlook the marvelous change which conditions have undergone since the days of those Illustrious forefathers. Why. when Washington lived this country. with its population of only 5.000.000 people. was seeking immigrants. and now with a population of 110.000.000 it would certainly seem the time has come to call a halt. We are facing new conditions. They are unprecedented and therefore can not be governed by any fixed precedent of the past.
