To those who are interested in restriction I want to say that this proposition to make it 1 per cent. based on the census of 1910. will make the number admissible practically 120.000 per year. but if It is made 2 per.cent. based on the census of 1890. it will be more than that. that Is t6 say. 169.000. The basis proposed in the amendment offered by the Senator from Pennsylvania would make it approximately 150.000. To those Who actually want to restrict immigration I will say that this proposition will reduce it to a smaller number than will any amendment now preSented. I hope the Senate will vote against the pending comumiitee amendment. and thus fix the basis at 1 per cent based on the census of 1910.
