The gentleman hits suggested that this committee was coerced in not embodying a similar amendment in the bill now before the committee. I call the gentlemans attention to the fact that in the bill as it passed the House at the last session. before it was acteddon by the Senate. there was a different condition provided for. A citizen of the United States 21 years of age and over might under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Labor apply to him for permission to bring into the United States. if otherwise admissible. a wife. parent. or grandparent. and if the Secretary of Labor was satisfied that the entry of such immigrant would not be in violation of the immigration law and that lie was likely to prove a desirable resident of the United States. then such relative might -be admitted. Those were restrictions on this enormous blood line that could be brought in under such an amendment. The amendment of the gentleman from Ohio does not carry anything of that sort.
