They secure hearings on their bills without any difficulty and get them reported out without delay. On the other hand. hearings are granted to us on restriction measures during the closing days of the session. when it is too late to secure favorable action. Even when. after the greatest difficulty. we secured passage of restriction measures in the House we cannot get a vote in the Senate as was illustrated by my two exclusion and deportation bills which passed the House in previous sessions only to die in the Senate for want of any active support. While we are on the defensive we are not "licked." We shall continue to appeal to the American people until public sentiment is so thoroughly aroused and crystallized in this Nation that the majority of the people will demand immediate action. I am appealing to you. my fellow countrymen. to adopt the American slogan: America for Americans. The only way we can deport aliens is to deport them. and the only way to restrict immigration is to restrict it. and the only way to furnish employment to the idle American citizen is to give available jobs to American citizens before a single alien can be employed. In closing. may I express my deep gratitude to the National Broadcasting Co. for affording us the opportunity to present the American case at the bar of intelligence and patriotic public opinion?
