Mr. President. It Is utterly impossible to write an immigration law that will be satisfactory to the various countries of the earth. In preparing an immigration measure I have sought. during my service in the House and in the Senate. to safeguard the interests of the United States. I never have been in favor of permitting the -various countries of the earth to tell us who should come here. and In what number their people should come. I reminded the Senate once before that on one occasion the King of Denmark pardoned 700 criminals with the understanding that they would go to the United States.
