I agree with him. that there are only two kinds of people in the world: Those who live in California and those -who want to. Frankly we are afraid that all of those who engaged in the war effort will suddenly avail themselves of this generous opportunity which the Senate would extend and. within the period of time fixed by the act. if one is fixed. rush out to California. to "crash" the Golden Gate before we can get "the old home fires" burning brightly for them. No. we are not concerned. as the gentleman from Michigan has assumed. over our ability to absorb those who have already emigrated to the State of the Golden Bear. We are concerned with the hordes which. like an avalanche might descend upon our fertile plains. encouraged to do so by the generosity of this proposal. About .California we have built no Chinese wall.
