Not by any means. From recent developments it seems that the party in power will have sufficient to do to keep their own household in this country in order. and when they do. we will have less crimes and misdemeanors in high places. which have shocked and horrifled the citizenship of this great Republic. The United States of America is our home. and it is our duty to protect it. and we can not protect it unless we have proper restricted immigration laws. Ever since the immigration act of 1924 was passed there has been a continuous effort on the part of certain organized minorities to lessen our restrictions. and it behooves the American people to see that not even the first step is taken that would in any wise cause this to be done. American institutions rest solely upon the character of our citizenship. The people of the United States through their representatives in Congress should determine what character of people should come to this country. how many. and under what conditions: This is the power that we are exercising now. and it is the power we should continue to exercise. and no authority whatever should be delegated to anyone directly or indirectly to meet in convention with other nations to consider or discuss our established policy.
