Mr. Speaker and gentlemen. we rarely help to settle important questions wisely by getting our feelings aroused and we rarely ever discover the truth to ourselves or others by extravagant statements. After all. the big question involved in Americas immigration policy is one of the preservation of the institutions which have made the country so attractive to all the world that millions of mankind everywhere want to come here. These institutions have grown out of certain racial traits. traditions. and habits. and certain attitudes as to government which find expression in the institutions themselves. We do not want the world to feel that any hatred toward any group or any race is prompting our immigration policy. We are trying to preserve America for all its people. If our foreignborn friends and their relatives have traveled far from Europe and from other countries to find another Europe created here. they will suffer a great disappointment.
