President. my reason for favoring exclusion is not because I think we are superior to these other peoplenot at all. I favor it because I believe it for our best interest. We want to live our own life in our own way. We believe in certain principles and policies of our Government and we want those here who believe wholeheartedly in them. That is all I take into account in acting on this matter. Some urge us to admit immigrants to meet special industrial conditions. to meet alleged shortages of labor. That might be justified if such conditions would never change. Depression will come and then the idle and suffering would be increased with resulting dangers and disorders.
