Mr.. Tat explained why he vetoed
an immigration bill because it con-
tanned literacy test. He said that he
had visited the public schools of the
East Side Of New York. He watched
the children as they recited the les

faces as they told of the soldiers Of

observed the feeling they threw into
the singing of patriotic songs. iHe
was thrilled by their manifestations Of
love for the stars and stripes. Many
of them were children of illiterate
parents, men and women who had
been kept in poverty and ignorance in
their native lands. But on coming to
the land OF liberty and opportunity,
they scraped and saved and endured
hardships that their children might be
educated and fitted for the battle of
life. So the great American president,
sprung from u long line of highly edu-
Gated Americans, vetoed the bill. He
could not shut the door of hope in
