But the gentleman well knows the psy�chology of legislation and the practical difficulties of securing legislation. It is infinitely easier to repeal an existing measure than it is to pass constructive legislation and especially when there are so many conflicting opinions as there are upon this question of immigration. and I submit to the judgment of the gentleman from Ohio if it would not be easier at the expiration of one year. supposing we put in the twoyear period of suspension. if the condition justified. to pass a bill repealing it or allowing the suspension to cease. than it would to get the legislative machinery started and pass a new bill extending for a further period the restrictions of this legislation?
