Hill. assistant to the Director of the Census. and chairman of the commitee appointed for the purpose of making the ascertainment and report of the elements of the population of the United States. as required by the act of 1924. for the purpose of furnishing the quota basis on the nationalorigins plan provided therein. and to the statement of John B. Trevor. Esq.. both of which latter statements were made before the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization on January 18. 1927 (Hearings. January 18. 1927. pp. 726. and pp. 2657. respectively). The statement of Congressman VAILE and that of Captain Trevor. both referred to above. and the proceedings in the Senate and in time House of Representatives while it was considering the conference report on the immigration act of 1924. show that these provisions were regularly and deliberately included in the law by the two Houses. which action was deliberately and formally approved by the President. This part of the law had not yet been put into operation when. by an act which passed the House on the last day of its recent session. under a special rule permitting no sufficient debate. it was suspended for one year. Why was that part of the law not permitted to go into operation?
