Mr. President. I hope that amendment to the amendment will not be adopted. because. especially among those immigrants who come from eastern and southern Europe. those who become naturalIzed constitute only about 21 per cent. and one can see how few would be permitted to come In under the Senators amendment. It would entirely destroy the provisions of the bill. For instance. from southern Europe it would permit only 27.000 to come In. instead of 150.000. which we have already agreed upon as being the proper number to come in. I am not sure that What the Senator proposes is not the basis that should be adopted In permanent legislation. but I think it would be fatal to the pending bill to adopt it.
