She can not sell her surplus products to us. The third law. Italy sets iup is our immigration law. She says we shut out her citizens from America. On that account she is deprived of a revenue of approximately $200.000.000 a year. That. to my mind. is a splendid argument for our immigration laws that I have helped to pass in the years I have been in Congress. I think our money should be kept at home for Americans. I voted for every immigration restriction law and am glad of it and delighted that the laws are now laws. Personally. I would rather cancel the entire foreign debt than have wideopen indiscriminate immigration like we formerly had before I became a Member of Congress. In settling this debt we must take into consideration that Italy not only owes the United States $2.000.000.000. but she also owes Great Britain $2.500.000.000. Do you believe Italy can pay on the same basis as Great Britain with her vast monopolies and colonies?
