I think that is our first responsibility. Do you want to crowd this country as India and China are crowded? We know that numbers do not contribute to the greatness of a people. The povertystricken. diseaseridden. backward areas of the world are in those countries where the population is most congested. Certainly no man who loves this country wants to make of the United States another China or another India. Should we open wide our immigration doors as many of the proponents of this bill would have us do? Bills like this one point that way. Let us not take the first false step.
