Mr. Chairman. 1 attribute nearly all of these changes to the forces of the newly arrived people of the last quarter of a century. not charging it against any one kind of foreign people. mind you. I am sure the thinking public senses all of this. and I am satisfied that the feeling in the House of Representatives today is for more and more restriction of Immigration. I do not believe It is possible to stop or check the movement for greater restriction than we now have. Interested organizations may cry out for more and cheaper labor. farmers may cry for imported serflike farm hands. women may think that they need servants from abroad. but all intelligent citizens. when they analyze the situation. will see that so many such arrivals must bring down the standards.
