Mr. William Green. He says: )uring the past quarter of a century. the American Federation of Labor has advocated legislation to control immigration Into the United States. We felt that such control was necessary in order to keep the United States a land of opportunity. To guard our gates we feel is necessary to the preservation of our national characteristics and to our physical and our mental health. In addition we believe immigration restriction is necessary to our economic progress. This labor believes is a constructive. practical view of one aspect of our population problem. The fact that several European nations have passed under the rule of dictators for their own preservation in the last few years is enlightening.
