Mr. President. I will say to the Senator from Georgia that .1 do not think the favorednation clause would have any practical operation if we naine Belgium in the allendment unless some other country could produce immigrants to whom the same conditios applied. In that event they could undoubtedly make a point under the favorednation clause. but I do not think it would hold or is a practical question. because this is temporary and relates to peculiar circumstances. However. there was objection made in the Senate that we should hurt somebody)s feelings if we named Belgium. and I tried to avoid that objection. in the hope that we could get something we could all agreeupon by taking the amendlment of the Senator from Mississippi. which names nobody. but contents itself with a description.
