Mr. Chairman. the amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana gives the necessary elasticity to a scientific immigration policy. There should be power to stop immigriltion at any time that the economic condition requires. and the economic condition of the country should be the only test and only measure affecting immigration regulations. Now. then. if we have a condition in the country at a time when Congress is not in session I do not share with the gentleman from Washington the belief that our proposed action would be in violation of an existing treaty. We have the power to stop immigration entirely if the economic condition requires.
