Let me suggest to the gentleman. further. that if that should be done it will be necessary for him also to change the figures 1910 to 1920 on the fourth page of the bill. Now. it seems to me that this is only fair. I confess that I have very grave doubts in my own mind as to the practicability of this method of limiting immigration. There are a good many conditions and circumstances that will result in compli.rating this percentage law and which may not prove very satisfactory. For instance. 3 per cent of any one country only can be admitted. and the 3 per cent will be those who first apply. and then afterwards all other applicants. no matter what their claims for consideration may be. will be excluded. It is doubtful in my mind whether or not this will be a practical method of solving the immigration problem. As gentlemen all understand. this is not the method of the House. it is the method of the Senate. However.
