Mr. e8peaker. I take this time because on Monday. the day which had been set aside for calling the Calendar of the Committed on Immigration and Naturalization. I did not have much time to discuss the legislation that would have been made in order by the first rule presented. Time on that rule was consumed by some of my colleagues who spoke of everything but the legislation before the House. From the Republican side there were a few criticisms to the effect that we should have a better immigration policy but some of the distinguished gentlemen on the Democratic side talked of everything but the legislation and more or less told me that I was bringing up controversial legislation. Let me repeat what I have said so often before. that unless we can get harmony in the Congress of the United States we shall get nowhere. There is too much fighting over legislation that comes from certain committees. too much objection to certain racial groups. We talk about unity in the outside world. we talk about being in a great warwe all know it and we all want to win this warbut we have got to keep our forces united so that people of. every race. religion. and nationality will join in this great struggle to win the war. Let me make a few observations. The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization had considered a certain bill covering the case of a man now in Cuba unable to secure a visa because he offered some stamps to a clerk in the consuls office because he had admired them and who charged him with bribery and the consul therefore had to refuse a visa which would have permitted him to enter this country. He has two sons. both wearing the uniform of this country. bbys who have lived in this country the last 4 years. One was drafted. the other enlisted.
