I think the reason why this law has made such a stroilg appeal to many patriotic societies is because of the belief that it restricts immigration. and materially so. I believe that any measure that is presented here seeking to lessen the number of immigrants would be a popular measure with the societies mentioned by the Senator. and. perhaps. if it were on the same basis as the present law. it would be popular even with some of the societies on the other side. For myself. I feel that the country wishes restriction of im-. migrationI have not any doubt about- thatand that any! measure that has in it the hope of restriction is bound to .ba popular. and. frankly. I think that is the chief reason why the patriotic societies and highminded organizations mentioned. by the Senator are for itbecause they think it has in it the hope of material restriction of immigration.
