When the Senator speaks about the cross section. and th desirability of having the quota founded on national stock. lias it occurred to him how difficult it is to provide a cross section which is truly representative? The Senator from South Carolint has said that In his State the foreign born anolnnt to onehal f of I per cent. while in my State itis iearer 40 per cent. When these persons come from the old countries there is no dispersion of the population. on the contrary. there is congestion or bunching of the population in certain localities. Would it not lie unfair to the new immigrants who come here to found it on such a basis as is proposed. there having been no general dispersion of the newer population? In short. If the pending bill passes. the proportion of foreign birth will be no greater in the South. and. so far as my State is concerned. it will be but little increased.
