Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the House. I want to call it to the attention of the committee that this bill is for a temporary suspension of immigration. There is a misapprehension which seems to be shared by a good many people on the outside that this is a start on a permanent policy to keep nearly everybody out. The members of the committee do not so understand it. They do think. however. that a temporary. suspension of immigration is necessary now. admittedly. as an expedient made necessary by the present conditions. It is necessary in order to put our own house in order. and it is necessary in order to work out a plan covering the whole subject. Most of us have our own ideas as to what those plans should be.
