This is to limit the scope of the measure. It is an amendment which declares that it is not intended by this bill to destroy our isnmigration laws. If the position they take is true. that it does not affect immigration. there can be no harm done by putting in the definition the statement that it does not affect the immigration laws. Some very respectable authorities who have made a careful study of the proposed measure are fearful that this part of the bill will authorize the President through treaty to. in effect. abrogate the present percentage limit on foreign immigration. Surely it is in order to declare that this is not meant. My amendment will effectually prevent any such construction.
