Furthermore. Mr. President. it is worthwhile for us to recall the splendid contributions made in the field of politics by immigrants. Governor Altgeld. a distinguished former governor of Illinois. was one of the German immigrants who became a great American citizen. Karl Schurz. who later became United States Minister to Spain. United States Senator from Missouri. a major general in the United States Army. and Secretary of the Interior. was also an immigrant from Germany. He became a great American statesman and citizen. Moreover. Mr. President. let us not forget the splendid contributions made by immigrants to our entire national cultural development in the fields of music. literature. and the arts. Also. let us not forget all the littleknown people who. in their own way. have made their contributions to the growth and development of our country. How I wish the Senator from Oregon could have heard the moving speech made a day or two ago by the Senator from Rhode Island . I shall long remember that speech. Every Member of this body should read it. The Senator from Rhode Island spoke with great sincerity. great conviction. and real understanding of the problems of immigrants and immigration. He spoke of some of the little people. Mr. President. after we have surveyed all the contributions made by immigrants. let us sit down and write an immigration law which will be in line with the policy that has made America great.
