The only way to safeguard this countrys life and interest for the next three to five years is to shut the doors and just say to the other nations. "We do not want to offend any of you. We have at separate. distinct Government and we tire trying to run it as we think it should be run. not only for our wellbeing but for the preservation of the institutions that we have and love. We are going to be fair and just in our rclations with you. and after we try this plan out we may decide later on that we will permit certain immigrants to come in." That is the only safe course. The Senator from Georgia . Who has given a great deal of study to this question. has an amendment on this very proposition. and I am going to vote for it.
