He declared that there would be no more United States If the free admis. sion of these races was allowed to continue. the great number of these peoples who would come across the ocean would wipe out the American institutions and social and living conditions would become the same as those of the foreign element.
 He spoke at some length in sup port of the bill aimed at the Amer icanizatiou of foreigners and the abolishment of illiteracy.
