What is best for the United States? So far as I am personally concerned. I am in favor of restricted immigration. I would be perfectly willing to stop immigration Into the country entirely for a period of two or three years. But when men rise on the floor of the Senate and wrap themselves in the American flag and say. "We are 100 per cent Americans and that Is the reason why we are in favor- of the bill." I say it is all nonsense. There is not. in my judgment. one iota of truth in any such statement. because it is not a question of patriotism but it is a question of whether or not we believe the northern Europeans. the Danes.
