“IMMIGRATION.” 
SupyEct oF TALK By Hon. A. Pratt 
ANDREW |BEFORE MANCHESTER 
BROTHERHOOD. 
The Hon. A. Piatt Andrew of 
Gloucester, who will contest the re- 
publican nomination in this district 
against Congressman A. P. Gardner, 
the coming fall, was the speaker Mon- 
day evening before the Manchester 
Brotherhood. His subject was “Im- 
migration.” 
Mr. Andrew is an artist in handling 
the English language and he certainly 
gives one the impression that “speaks 
by the card.” Without doubt he will 
prove a worthy antagonist to Capt. 
Gardner and the immigration issue 
will undoubtedly form one of the 
principle planks in his platform. 
Some of the things brought out in 
his talk are as follows: “Suppose 
we were to grant that the alien influx 
at the present time is of precarious 
character and demensions, and that a 
policy of exclusion is desirable. It 
goes without saying that the policy 
should be framed along rational lines. 
The test for admission to the country 
must be one which will separate what 
we don’t want from what we want. 
It would be preposterous for a doctor 
to say to an individual patient, ‘You 
are suffering from cancer, but we 
have no cure for that, so we will give 
you some of this remedy for tubercu- 
losis.’ Yet this is exactly the kind of 
murky argument which the advocates 
of the literacy test ‘proclaim. They

say what is perfectly true, that cer- 
tain classes of our immigrants are 
unassimilable and detrimental to our 
standards of American life and 
thought, and then they say, ‘we don't 
know of any test which we could get 
through Congress which would ex- 
clude these undesirable _ selectively 
so we propose to take a pot-shot and 
exclude those who cannot read.’ 
“Such a test is meaningless, unwise, 
and contrary to the spirit in which 
our government was founded. It ts 
meaningless because it would not ex- 
clude our most dangerous immigrants ; 
it would not exclude anarchists. It 
would not exclude people of bad 
character, the vicious or the incompe- 
tent. Sing-Sing is filled with men 
who can read and write, and the most 
unassimilable anarchists in the coun- . 
try can read in several languages. 
The literacy test is unwise because it 
would exclude many of those who by 
character, vigor and intelligence are 
destined to become worthy and use- 
ful citizens. Above all, the literacy 
test flies in the face of the spirit of 
our whole history. For nearly three 
centuries the United States has of- 
fered a refuge for those who were op- 
pressed by injustice and who lacked 
opportunity in the lands across the 
sea. In colonial days it was the re- 
fuge from persecution of the Pilgrim, 
the Quaker, and the Huguenot, and in 
later times it has been the refuge 
from injustice of the Poles, the Ger- 
mans, and the Irish. In more recent 
times it has been the asylum for per- 
secuted Russian Jews, for Italians, 
oppressed by an unjust land system in 
their own country, and for Hunga- 
rians, Armenians, and others, who 
have been hampered by inequitable 
economic and political conditions in 
their respective countries. 
“T cannot believe that without the 
strongest reasons we should now de- 
part from these time-honored tradi- 
tions, and close the doors of entry to 
many of these people, merely because 
they have never had the advantage of 
the schools.”

Mr. Andrew’s talk, during which re- 
freshments were served.
