I I think I will be able. if the Senator will hear with me. to give him just whlt lie wants. I will say to the Senator that In a bill which I introduced I incorporated a clause for restricting the number of immigrants coining to this country. under which the number admitted from each nation would depend upon the number from that nation in this country at the last census. For instance. we know l)y the census of 1910 the number of every nationality then residing in this country. I incorporated that provision that Congress might be considering it. because at some time I think we shall adopt that as a basis. We want to reach the Asiatic nations and do away * with the Japanese irritation. and I think if we put all Asia upon the same plane that Europe is placed on under our laws. then there will be no cause whatever for irritation. and that through the percentage system we muay be able. perlups. to solve some � of our very serious problems. But I did not introduce it with the purpose of pressing it at this time as against the educational test.
