We have all had letters from them. We have all had telegrams. I think. from the national commander of the LegionI am going to read one in a momentbut when it is suggested that they support this national origins blindly because it cuts down immigration a little more. I would like to have the Senate hear just what the American Legion has said about it. I read now from page 75 of our last hearings: The Legion believes firmly In restrictive immigration. We believe that this is our country and that we are entitled to be the judge of whether we shall allow people to come here from foreign countries to make their home with us or to say to them. " We now have sufficient persons of other races within our shores."
