REcorD is authority for the statement that a former Member of this House. the late Ilon. James R. MIanh. beloved by political friend and foe alike. always prefaced his speeches on immigration with the salutation to his colleagues. "Fellow inmigrants." and a truer and more appropriate term was never used on this floor. For. taking a sensible and a broad view of the situation. that is what we all areimmigrantsor nearly all.. I am reliably Informed that only two Members of this House can boast real American blood in their veins. claiming the proud distinction of the blue blood of the Cherokee and the Chickasaw. And I have not the slightest doubt that if the historian could delve into the secret recesses of the lore of bygone ages he would find indisputable evidence that even they wefe at one time but aliens and immigrants who had driven the real. genuine American from his hearth and his home. The soil of Iowa is hallowed to me by harboring the sacred ilust of my parents and grandparents. My eyes have never beheld any country but my own.
