Unemployment was already knocking upon our doors. Returning soldiers were looking for work. To continue the principle of unrestricted immigration would have dislocated completely the labor market of our Nation. You. sir. were then chairman of the Committee on Immigration. Let me tell you. Congressman ALBERT JOHNSON. you have played the most important part in calling the attention of the American public to the fact that restricted immigration must come at once to protect the standard and the interests of American labor. I want to say to you that if I were President of the United States. and if Mr. James Davis were elected Senator. I know of no better man who could qualify for the position of Secretary of the Department of Labor than the gentleman from Washington. who has studied the problem of immigration and labor so thoroughly and scientifically.
