President. I want to say just a word on this amendment. I suppose it is possible in some of the foreign countries. like Poland. to make a general racial division of the population. but I do not be!lieve it is humanly possible for any consul of the United States to take a Polish emigrant and analyze his race and find out to which of the racial groups he ought to be assigned. Perhaps his mother or his grandmother was a Jewess. his father or his grandfather a Czech. and somebody else in his ancestry a Slav. and no consul would have the ability or the means at his disposal to make the necessary research. My objection does not lie to the idea of the Senator from South Dakota. I think his idea would be fine If it.could be worked out. But the moment you come to apply it to any particular emigrant you would find yourself up against a hopeless enigma. So I hope the amendment will not be adopted.
