We have only a few legislative days left of this session. What Impels me to speak at this time is that I have received letters and circulars anticipating the plea that we are compelled to make and rather ridiculing it as sob stuff and seeking to brush it aside. I refer to the division of families that has been brought about by the immigration act of 1924. I am ready to concede that the great majority of this House is of the opinion that there should be no modification or change of the law. I would not make an appeal to this House for a modification of the law at this time which would increase in any degree the maximum number fixed by the act of 1924 because I realize that this House is firm in its conviction that there should be no lifting of the bars.
