I hope gentlemen will give me -their attention. This is a very important matter. I followed the distinguished gentleman. from Washington the whole distance when wepassed the original immigration law. I believe in restricted immigration. There was an understanding. when we passed that law. between the two bodies. that what is. known -s. the Simmons amendment was to be written ai4i remain a part of the fundamental law of the land. Now. we find -this Situation here which I think the House should know about. We find the distinguished gentleman going over to the other side and letting up to the crowd that fought him and the balance .of us who wanted restricted immigration. �he is letting down the bars and doing away with the best class of immigrants. That is exactly what it does.
