Mr. President. very briefly. the bill which I have just introduced. the title of which has been read by the clerk. interests itself primarily in two things of great importance to the American people. The first is the restriction of immigration. The second is a compulsory act providing that every alien within the borders of the United States within 6 months shall be forced to register at one of the several thousand post offices in the United States. I am taking occasion to introduce a bill further to restrict -immigration. as I have stated. and to register all aliens now within the United States. It is. indeed. a matter of common knowledge that in spite of all the things we have done arti.ficially to stimulate employment. there are still many millions of persons unemployed in this country today. It is estimated on the very best of authority that in this country one person out of every five or six is in one way or another dependent in whole or in part for his support upon the Government of the United States.
