Chairman. I desire to correct some misstatements and set my colleagues right. if I can. as to some misinformation that they seem to possess. The House Committee otn Immigration and Naturalization sat week in and week out. with many night sessions. trying to perfect amendments to the 3 per cent act. Some of these amendments. designed to nake the law more workable. will be offered to you at an early date. If these are not attached in the Senate to the House resolution extending the time of the 3 per cent act. which was recently passed by a vote of 281 to 36. they will be offered here by special resolution. One of these amendments deals with the boundary situation. European immigrants who are piling up in Canada. Mexico. and Cuba. hoping to beat our present restrictive act. will not be permitted to do so. Other amendnients. we hope. will take care of some of the situations which made necessary the resolution which is now before you.
