Seventy thousand people of this character spread around among the 105.000.000 people in our country. of course. is no menace viewed from any standpoint. As a matter of fact. I understand that the various exceptions In the socalled Johnson bill based on the 1890 census. allowing relatives and skilled labor and other exceptions. would bring the actual number of immigrants under the Johnson bill to a total greater than the net.240.000 provided on the 2 per cent basis under the 1910 census. Therefore. under either plan the question of immigration of such a volume that it would be dangerous and impossible to assimilate seems to me absolutely removed from the argument. Our problem. then. becomes alone one of fairness and nondiscrimination. Therefore.
