Let us make a comparison. Take the ratio which the eligible number of any race who come into the United States bears to the figure 150.000. and set that against the entire population. based upon the census of 1920. with respect to the same racial strains which wore the American uniform in World War H. and see if the comparison is a good one. I challenge any Member of the Senate to make such a comparison. Take the numbers of the racial strains which we are saying are not good enough to be admitted. are not equal to our citizenship. but are secondclass people. and compare them with the sons of the immigrants who came from the same stock. who wore the American uniform. and see what a great deflection we would actually have by comparison. It is easy enough to ask American boys of those racial strains to wear the uniform of this country. to defend the country in war. and to fight for peace. but when it comes to recognizing those races in immigration. we say that they are not good enough. that there are other people who are a little better than they are.
