Mr. Chairman. I move to strike out the last word for the purpose of emphasizing what was stated by the chairman of the committee . When the immigration act of 1924 was enacted. the bill came back to the House with an amendment known as the Reed amendment. containing the nationalorigin provision. The House disagreed to that and other amendments and the bill went to conference. There was one very burning question at issue in the House at that time and that was the question of Japanese exclusion. Gentlemen will find there was no debate in the House of any consequence except by one gentleman. the gentleman from Minnesota upon the question of the nationalorigin amendment.
