Do not discourage the 6.000.000 from southern Europe. who. speaking from the standpoint of the State I represent in part. are there in great numbers. are thrifty citizens. are tillers of the soil. and are meeting the obligations of citizenship. In one section of New Jersey. where the sandy nature of the soil made the land most undesirable. sons of Italy have made a veritable garden spot. Make your standard of qualification in the ports of Europe or in the homes of Europe from whence they colie just as positive and strict as a reasonable condition will permit. and then encourage the foreign born already in our country to recognize that this Government is prepared to welcome in proper relative proportion those who can get within the quota from their own homeland.
