My friend from Tennessee has interpreted the statement of the Senator from Pennsylvania. so I now understand what he meant. In other words. the Senator thinks that It Is In the Interest of the American people to cut down the immigration that is coming from southern Europe and to increase the immigration from northern Europe. That is Just what I said. I did not apply it in that way. but I never try to disguise my position by words. The purpose of this change is not to reduce immigration coming into this country that is going to force Itself up against the bread line. It is not a question of protecting the standard of American labor and American life and the American homeno. it is not that. because that is determined by the brawn and sinew of each mans arm. It is numbers that count in the standard of daily work.
