But if the amendments as adopted by the House. or the amendment offered by the Senator from California should be adopted. then. in addition to the 352.000 allowed under this bill. there might come Into the United States millions of these people. The only limitation would be the steamship facilities for bringing them here. So. Mr. President. I was in hopes that this legislation might be passed in the form in which it passed the Senate and passed the House before. and that it might go to the President. with the hope that it would receive his approval. and in the meanwhile we can work out a permanent proposition. But at this time this bill will greatly hold back the great flood of immigration that is threatening to come to this country.
