Speech #700110982

I want to try to help run the American Government without attempting to run the Italian Government. It was agreed at the beginning of this session. after the Presidents message was received. that you would come in here with some measure that would permit the entry of fathers and mothers of citizens as nonquota immigrants and to permit the coming of the wives of those immigrants who arrived prior to 1924 and who had declared their intention of becoming citizens. and you have not kept that promise. The American Federation of Labor appeared before the committee and approved an amendment to that extent.
