Now. once more I say to my colleague from Georgia. they all want to come to the United Statesevery last one of them. They can not nil come. it would not be proper for alany of them to come because of their physical condition. but. so far as we may properly relieve the situation. let America be an asylul and a home for those persons. 1. want to say for mlyself that I think as large a number as we can possibly assiniilate without eml)arrassment to our present population should be permitted to come ill. I walt to speak a little more about this. because I vish lhe PRzcoui to slow exactly wly a Senator from New York is advocating a larger quota of immigrants than that which is proposed by the pending bill. I wats a student in the University of Vienna 25 years ago. On my recent visit I saw sone of the old professors I had known and respected suffering from what we call osteonialacia. a softening of the bones. a condition in old people much like rickets in children. caused by privation and the lack of proper food.
