President. I realize that.the Senate is very anxious to get a vote shortly upon the pending bill. and I shall not tlferef6re occupy more than a few moments. My amendment proposes to restrict immigration for the period of. 14. months. as -contemplated by the louse bill. subject tothe exceptidfnsad the provisos madeby tile. Senate committee in the substituitewhich. has- been voted. upon. The. questibn is whether we want. to admit. 3 per. cent or whether we wish to. exclude fmmigration. for a. period of 14 months.. Thiat is. the. simple. plain question that is raised by my amendment. If the- amendment is adopted. immigration will be prohibited. for 14 snonths.. subject only. to the exceptions. suggested by the Senate committee. r believe thatthe amendment should be adopted. and I offer itso that. tlis questibn may be determined by the Senate..
