I think it has the largest number of- members who have been transferred to or promoted to socalled ranking committees. All the key subjects of the Nations greatest problems--educationi. standards of living. eugenics. Sunday observance. drama. press and its freedom. free speech. riots. strikes. crimes. gang government. revolution. lessons in communism. wages of workingmen and of seamen. deportations. health. population. birth rates. protection of our borders. strikes pulled off to be lessons in communism. anarchy. the black hands. cotton growing. Fascisti. farm labor. sugar beets. crop production. the people of our insular possessionsall these and more are subjects that must be considered in our hearings. In this Congress there are seven new members on this committee who must start in on this technical legislation. There are six on the committee who have been members of the committee In the previous Congress only. out of a total of 21. All work bard. or soon learn to. work. hard. They quit hearings in their other important committees to sit for hours in this immigration work. the large room with but one small window reeks with smoky. foul. putrid air. Oh. hasten the day when the new House Office Building is completed. Everyone knows that immigration legislation involves many technical questions and it is a difficult task to attempt to coordinate the various acts that have had to be passed piecemeal since the World War. I know of 20 corrections that should be .made by acts of Congress to make administration truly possible. But there will not be time for all that.
