We all favor amalgamation of people of foreign races now resident in this country. but such action as this will tend quite in the other direction because the Italians will feel that they have been discriminated against and that they have not been treated fairly. This will tend to make them a segregated and dissatisfied group. The only effective Americanization. I think. Is Americans themselves to act fairly toward all residents so that people of all races will feel that they are in a friendly atmosphere. I make this suggestion as a practical suggestion. gentlemen. as to one of the main principles of this bill which is to cut down immigration and at the same time not raise up any international disputes or internal hatreds.
