Mr. President. beyond the matter of the bills internal effect on Italy. however. is the character of Italian immigration which it would permit. Unless this amendment is agreed to. members of many families now residing in the United States. who under the amendment and in compliance with the other provisions of the bill would be able to join these families. would not be able to do so. Such a condition would deprive our country of many valuable and useful future citizens. Furthermore. this amendment should assure a broader selection of immigrants than could be obtained under the terms of the bill as now written. For the sake of being of maximum assistance to Italy under other provisions of the bill at this very critical time in Italian affairs. and for the sake of our own national welfare. I urge that this amendment be agreed to.
