I hope that the amendment will not be adopted. My reason for saying so is that I believe it will be an embarrassment to the consuls in the issuance of visd certificates and that it will not attain the end for which the proponent of the amendment is striving. Its effect is best illustrated by our experience in recent immigration. Last year there came to the United States 25.905 farm laborers and 12.503 farmers. a total of 38.000 farmers and farm workers. More than 10 per cent of them went to the State of Pennsylvania. more than 10 per cent of them went to New York. and yet I think it is a safe statement that of those farmers and farm laborers who went to Pennsylvania and New York not one in fifty ever went near a farm.
