who objected to the test. In the main,
the Secretary's condemnation of the bill
aimed at the most important provision
Of the measure. In part Mr.. Nagel says.
In a letter sent to the President. which
accompanied his veto to the Senate:
"The census returns show conclusively
that the Importance of illiteracy among
aliens is overestimated. and that these
people are prompt after their arrival to
avail of the opportunities which this
country affords. While, according to the
reports of the Bureau Of immigration,
about % per cent of the incoming aliens
are illiterate, the census shows that the
foreibn-b born people of such States as New
Yord and Massachusetts,, where most of
the congestion complained of has taken
place, the proportions OF illiteracy rep
resent only about l3 per cent.
Il am persuaded that this provision of
the bill is in principle of a very great
consequence and that it is based upon
a fallacy In undertaking to apply a test
which is not calculated to reach the
truth and to find relief from a danger
which really does not exist. This provi-
sion of the bill is new aud it is radical
II goes to the heart o: the measure. 1t

ions of the measure are in most respects

amendments to the present immigration
law which will insures greater certainty
in excluding undesirable immigrants.
This bill received strong support In both
Houses and was recommended by an
able commission after an extended in
vestigation and carefully drawn con-
clusions
