I had thought. of course. of the suggestion now made by the able Senator from Pennsylvania. The difficulty about that. it seems to me. is the dificulty that resides in this whole section. I think we ought to treat nations alike. and If we shall say to South America. "The quota law shall not apply to you." we will have made an invidious discrimination about which other nations might have a right to complain. I think all nations should be treated the same. .Of course. I recognize the fact that the minimum quota we provide. namely. a hundred. will take care of the South American and the Central American countries. and there will be no difficulty. and that is not the purpose at which this amendment is aimed.
