Mr. President: I should much prefer to see 2 per cent on 1890 than 1 per cent on 1910. It is quite true that when you take the total number of immigrants that might come in. under 1 per cent on 1910 about 120.000 would come in. and under 2 per cent on 1890. 160.000 would come in. but when we look at the quotas from the various countries under the 1 per cent on 1910 or the 2 per cent on 1890 we find these facts: Let us take the immigration from Great Britain and Ireland. for instance. At 1 per cent on 1910. 25.000 could come in. At 2 per cent on 1890. 62.458 could come lna difference of 40.000 from Ireland and Great Britain. both.
