Why look for trouble? Why go back 20 years and arbitrarily select a date when you know there were very few people from southern and southeastern Europe in this country. and in doing this leave this country and this Congress open to all the just criticism of the nations thus offended because they are stamped with the brand of inferiority? If 3 per cent. based on the census of 1910. admits too many immigrants. then why not allow only 1 per cent or onehalf of 1 per cent. based on the census of 1910. I would strongly favor this. In other words. just change the percentage and not the basic year.
