Now. that the Senate by unanimous vote as of yesterday has added the Reed amendment to this bill. to take effect approximately three years from now. I believe that in the interval between now and the taking effect of the national origins amendment it will perhaps be fairer to use the census of 1910 and thus obviate the undoubted disappointment. and I may say bitterness. which would accrue were we to use the census of 1890 for that short period. I. therefore. expect to support the amendment of the Senator from Ohio. to the effect that for the next three years Immigration shall be at the rate of 1 per cent on the basis of the census of 1910.
