Any man who wanted to come to America Who could stand the test and pass the examination could come. if he could get a vis6 certificate. We now say that the kin. the father. the mother. and the husband. and agricultural people shall have the preference to the extent of 50 per cent. No man In this House who represents an American constituency can oppose that change. and every man who voted for the bill as it passed the House can with more justification vote for this conference report. but those who do not want any restrictive immigration. those who only want the present law with practically no restriction whatsoever. will vote to recommit the bill. The third change in the nationalorigin section. which will not take effect until July 1. 1927. To vote to recoalmait this I A~y15 bill is to flirt with dangerthat of no restriction of Immigration whatever. The bill is not perfect. but it is a step forward in the interests of the United States and because of that interest challenges the support of every one of us who thinks in terms and tone of America. I urge your favorable vote.
