They talk about the AngloSaxon race. and the gentlema from New York referred to that race rather facetiously a minute ago. I am no prophet nor the son of a prophet. but If the Bolshevism of this country continues to increase. the next generation is going to say that this Republic. was saved during the Civil War by the North. and If It is saved from Bolshevism during the generation. which It will be. it will be saved by the AngloSaxons of the South joining with the patriots of the North in saving the Union. I am for this bill because It restricts immigration to 2 per cent instead of 3 per cent In the present law. and it Is a selective immigration bill because It puts the quota of immigrants to be admitted as of the year 1890 instead of the date now In the present law. Let us pass this bill without dotting an additional "I" or crossing an additional "t." for it is the best bill we can hope to pass now. Let us pass it by an overwhelmIng majority. so it can be thundered around the world that this Congress proposes to maintain and perpetuate America and her institutions.
