That they had not given it deep study is indicated by the very language which was resorted to in the hearing from which the Senator read. From what the Senator has read I repeat this: The Issue can be brought squarely between patriotism and slackerism. Shall slackerism be represented in selecting our immigrants over patriotism ? Then: During the World War 2.000.000 persons resident in America of foreign birth claimed exemption under the draft because of their alienage. Yet. should we continue to base our quotas upon the foreignborn population. the countries of which these slackers are natives would be allowed to send additional Immigrants to America. I want to ask how in the world national origins is going to cut off immigration from those socalled slacker countries?
