Mr. Chairman. I can not now -take -the time to explain the processes of immigration exclusion and the intricacies of its national origins provision. I expect by extension in the RECORD to do that. Many of those who have done me the honor to follow me all these years have said. "You make no mistake in giving one more years time for the further study and consideration of these prospective figures which. If they are to be used. shall make national origin the basis." This resolution reads: That subdivisions (b) and (e) of section 11 of the immigration act of 1924. as amended. are amended by striking out the figures " 1927 and inserting in lieu thereof the figures " 1928." That permits the 1924 act. the restrictive immigration act. to go on just the same with the 2 per cent restriction. based on the census of 1890. with a maximum possible immigration front European and Near East countries of about 163.000. of which about 2.000 can not arrive owing to the fact that they fall within the ineligible to citizenship class. I know a great deal more about vicious foreign language and alien influence propaganda. perhaps. than does my distinguished colleague from Texas [Mr. Box]. whom I honor for his firm Americanism and for never ceasing to express his views.
