Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Injustice of a Literacy Test for Immigrants
Based on my extended practical experience in charge of the para mount immigration station, I state that With the present number of inspection aisles and of available registry clerks, an introduction of the Lodge bill would much more than double the time for examination, and thereby double the hardships of steerage passengers. Its practical effect would, therefore, in my opinion, come dangerously near to an annihila tion of immigration from nations of higher grade.
