President. the joint resolution (H. J. Res. 268) which has been favorably reported by the Immigration Committee and is now before the Senate. continues the present immigration law for two years instead of for one. as passed by the House. That is the effect of the amendment reported by the committee. The two most striking facts brought out in the operation of this law are. first. that the immigration from northern and western Europe is of a pernmanent character. while the immigration from southern and eastern Europe is of a temporary character. and. second. that the immigration movement from southern and eastern Europe is offset by the departures. or homereturning movement. of this group of aliens. The following figures are taken from a report of the Commissioner General of Immigration. giving the quotas. the admissions. and the depatrtures under tile present 3 per cent law from July 1. 1021. to February 28. 1922. a period of eight months: Table giving the quotas. admissios. and departures under the prCsent 3 per cent law from July 1. 1921. to February 28. 1922.
