Mr. President. to borrow a thought from Macaulay. if a visitor from somie strange and remote and unknown part of the world should come and sit in this gallery and listen to the addresses of certain of our Members. he might conclude that we were the most downtrodden. oppressed. povertystricken. unhappy people on the earth. whereas we are the bestfed. the bestclothed. the happiest people on the earth today. If that be an imaginative picture I have drawn. let me ask you. sir. why it is that all the poor men and struggling women of all the European nations and all the oriental Asiatic nations are hoping and praying that they may some time come to the United States. why they are striving to come to blessed United States. So I wish to dissent from the pictures which have been drawn touching the conditions in our country today. The powers to which I have referred as granted amount to this: That the Congress legislates. the President executes. and the judiciary decides in all cases in law and equity mentioned in the Constitution.
