I might say. with the doctrine of a strict restrictionist. I said in that speech that I believed. because of Americas great mission to humanity that no disciple of Prussian autocracy and no exponent of a godless and flagless bolshevism ought to be allowed to set foot on American soil for 1.000 years. I have not changed my convictions. but in favoring this bill [applause] I want to say that I have surrendered not one inch or atom of my loyalty to the doctrine which I supported in voting for the recent immigration bill. One consideration that fortifies me in my position is the fact that the Secretary of Labor told me today that he felt that every sense of mercy and humanity should allow these unfortunate people to stay in America. and I have great faith in the clear head and big heart of that Godfearing man.
