Speech #740207099

D. C.: Revision of KerrCoolidge bill does not meet with the approval of Veterans of Foreign Wars. Right here I wish to advise the Members of the Senate that this bill made its appearance upon the floor of the Senate once before. and that there was such an uproar. there was so much opposition by the patriotic orders of America. and by labor organizations. that the bill went back to the Committee on Immigration. where more hearings were had. and where a revision was made. but I allege the changes were not in keeping with the desires of the American people and were not in conformity with the wishes of those who desire to protect and maintain America for Americans. In speaking of America for Americans I wish to remind the Presiding Officer of this body that for several days past I have heard statements upon the floor of the Senate about unemployment increasing. about the millions upon millions of people being out of employment in this country. and I wish to ask a question of the Members of this body. It is well that I ask it now. so that they will not be embarrassed when they reach home after the adjournment of the present session of the Congress and set about to ask votes of their respective constituencies to return them here.
