Mr. Chairman. if we were to adopt the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York . known as the six months amendment. the actual period during which this law would be in force and effect would be only four months. If we were to adopt the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio . known as the oneyear amend-: ment. the actual period during which immigration to this country would not be allowed would be only 10 months. because the law is exempted from operation for 60 days after its passage. The law does not go into effect until two months after its passage. The committee told us that it was their purplose to make this law apply for four years. but because of the opposition.
