Speaker. I reserved the right as a member of the commission to make objection to the suggestion that they made. that their report could be completed by the end of the next fiscal year. because. as stated by the gentleman from Kentucky. if it was forced to do so. it could soon report. This commission was created at the time for the purpose of preventing legislation restricting immigration. There is no doubt that that was the purpose. Mr. Speaker. and it has accomplished that purvose so far. because every time any effort is made to report restrictive legislation before the Committee on Immigration those opposing it say. "Oh. wait until your commission reports ." and that is the real reason why it was desired that this commission should postpone its report during the next fiscal year. in order to prevent any legislation. although the people all over the country are demanding it. Therefore I believe that the 1st day of December. or the 1st day of January. at the very farthest. should be the time fixed for them to file their report. If they were required to do so. they would do it.
