Mr. Presidept. before the bill was sent to conference we had a lengthy discussion here that took up several hours of the afternoon. It was decided that the front door and the back door should be closed to immigrants. hut the bill was sent to conference with what I would call the side door open after the back and front doors had been closed. We were told that the side door would be closed in conference. and the very able and distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania now assures us that this has been done. I do not doubt his sincerity. I do not doubt his good intentions to close the door. but I fail to see that the door has been closed.
