W. Husband. Commissioner General of Immigration said that the purpose of the lawIs clearly to leave the way wide open for all northern and western Europeans who may desire to come. but to close the doors as much as possible to those coming from southern and eastern Europe. The position assumed two years ago by the proponents of this bill rested on the assumption that there was no discrimination as the basis of its philosophy. yet today that position has been abandoned for one admittedly discriminatory against the Italian. the Hungarian. the Pole. and the people of those other nations of southern and eastern Europe. No longer is there any question of the real issue in this controversy.
