Why not let them in under the exemption of the quota and place them In the environment of this country. so that they may adapt themselves to our American Institutions? Nevertheless. they are placed in the 2 per cent of 1890 census and if they should happen to come from southern and eastern Europe their families chances to come here are very limited. It seems to me that the whole problem of immigration and the provisions contained in the proposed bill that is now being considered is more or less speculative without scientific study of the immigration question. I beg to call the attention of the House to Report No. 350. which accompanies bill No. 7995. by the majority. and on the front page thereof we find that this proposed bill will. amongst other things. preserve the basic Immigration law of 1917. I do not object to that. nor does anyone else who came before the committee. On the contrary.
