Speech #680076413

I voted for the 3 per cent law approved May 19. 1921. and for Its extension. approved May 11. 1922. This law expires June 30. 1924. and we must remedy the situation before adjournment and before the expiration of the present law. This bill should have received consideration earlier in the session. but the Committee on Immigration has been busy holding hearings on the various bills before it. and this bill is the result of the careful deliberation of the committee. The members of the committee who reported this bill favorably for the consideration of Congress deserve the commendation of the entire membership. They have labored hard and long and have brought forth the best immigration bill ever offered to Congress ind the country. If the bill were submitted to the people of the country it would not take long for it to be adopted by an overwhelming vote. Our American citizenship Is thoroughly aroused over this question and is awake to the danger$ of delay on the enactment of a more stringent law.
