Mr. DIES has lately been promoted and placed on the great Rules Committee of the House. I wish to say for MARTIN DIES. of Texas. that all during his service on the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization he put in the very best that was in him. I served with his father here. He was an able representative of the people. and he made one of the finest speeches on this floor on the service of Congressmen that I have ever heard. His worthy son. our present colleague. MARTIN DIES. has performed valuable service on this committee. All of his purposes and intentions were to stop immigration to this country. to save American jobs for American citizens. He learned to know well our friend from New York during that service. Did you not hear him tell the gentleman a moment ago that he did not believe he was really and heartily in favor of stopping immigration at all? That is the thing that impressed him from serving with the chairman of the committee during all these years. And I repeat that as my belief.
