Anthropologists. historians. and lexicographers assure us that the Abyssinians belong to the Semitic race. which is a branch of the Caucasian race. Historians also inform us that the ancestors of American Negroes were not Abyssintans and did not have their habitations in that section of Africa. A discussion of immigration laws necessarily Involves a discussion of nations and peoples. and such discussion nowadays arouses great emotions. and such emotions magnify the occupational hazards of Senators which I have mentioned. Let me assure Americans in in general and North Carolinians in particular that during the Senates consideration of the pending immigration proposals I shall do everything within my power to serve the America we love. and shall not be deterred from so doing by any misquotation. any misunderstanding. or any misconstruction of anything I may say.
