President. many of us forget too soon. I remember. as do other Senators. when we had between 10.000.000 and 13.000.000 people out of employment in this country. and during the same hours. weeks. and months when we had millions of people out of employment in America we were permitting thousands of people to come to our land from foreign shores and compete with American citizens for American jobs. I am against the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Acts. Not so long ago a very able gentleman by the name of Multer. president of the Sons of the American Revolution. delivered an address on Americanism. In the course of his remarks he made this observation: All immigration laws would be repealed so that the citizens of the world could move about and locate where they please the same as citizens of the United States can change their residence from State to State. It requires no imagination to foresee that millions would come here to enjoy "the more abundant life" rather than to stay home to build up and struggle amid the ruins and desolations of war. Indeed. people from all over the earth would hasten here to the land. where. they are told. the streets are paved with gold.
