I think. about 250.000. I then allow a year for the elaborate and difficult racial calculation to be made and presented. I thea proposte that after July. 1925---or after July. 1926. if still more time is neededthe annual quota of each nationality shall bear the sanie ratio to the maximum total number of immigrants as the nunber of inhabitans of the United States having that national origin shall bear to the whole number of inhabitants. However. I leave out of account the descendants of the involuntary immigrants. mostly from Africa. Gentlemen. I am a restrictionist. I am not trying to trick you by proposing an unworkable or fantastic substitute in the hope of defeating this bill. I am a sincere and practicing restrictionist of immigration. I have voted for the literacy test and for every restrictive measure that ls come before the House in the last six or seven years. I believe in a very limited and very carefully selected immigration. I am not proposing this plan as a fraud on the Nation. I believe in it.
