Mr. Speaker and gentlem.en of the House. like the distinguished gentleman from New York. the chairman of the Rules Committee. I realize that legislation in reference to immigration is necessary. that the law automatip cally expiring at the end of June places a problem directly before this Congress. and r agree with him that no more im portant problem confronts this American. legislative body than this problem of immigration. 1 believe that the traditions of America are involved in the handling of this problem. I do not believe it is generally contradicted that thli4 probIlm has never been scientifically studied! or scientifically handled up. to this hour. that we are yet speculating in reference as to how we shall solve the problem of admitting immigrants to tills country. I am surprised and shocked at the statements of the previous. speaker. I had imagined that the proponents of this legislation boasted of the fact that this bill discriminated agnst- southern and eastern Europe.
