One of my colleagues asked interested parties presenting the view these gentlemen now express over and over again during the hearings. " Which is paramount. the interests of America or the distress of Europe?" The question was always apparently embarrassing. But still they seemed to fail entirely to get the American viewpoint. We propose to restrict the number and reduce it from the figures under the present quota from the Old World of about 350.000 per yearwhich is too manyto about 161.000. With a quota of 357.000 we have already received over onehalf a million through the doors this year. not counting those who have come illegally. I doubt not that America will receive 750.000 to 800.000 immigrants during the present fiscal year. counting the thousands or hundreds of thousands entering illegally.
