Norway. and Denmark have during the last 20 years enacted so many laws for the encouragement of agriculture that their farmers can not better themselves by leaving their country if they wish to remain in the occupation of farming. They can borrow money on their land at 3 per cent. The Government has in many ways. by the construction of public elevators. by various laws subsidizing agriculture. made the business of farming so desirable that they do not leave their farms in those countries and immigrate to Argentina or to Canada or to the United States. as they did until about 20 or 25 years ago. So if the Senator from North Carolina [Mr. SinroNs] hopes with this amendment to induce scientific farmers to come over here. I am afraid. if the amendment be adopted. he will not succeed. People from those countries are not now making use of the right under the quotas which they have under the immigration law to come to this country in as large numbers as the law allows. Mr. President.
