We had a right to expect that the action of the Senate would be carried out in the action of the conferees. and as bestpossible they would report back the bill for our final approval as we had interpreted it here. I say that has not been done. The main question in the consideration of immigration legislation when before the Senate was how many immigrants should be permitted to come into the United States. There was a difference of opinion and various views expressed as to whether the number should be 160.000 or 250.000 or no limitation at all. Some Senators voted for the 1890 census and some for the 1910 census.
