That fact is gratifying to me. Having had no communication from him on the subject. I am persuaded that the Speaker believed that after Congress and the President had so deliberately cooperated in the enactment of this important part of the immigration act of 1924. it should not be later abandoned under the promptings of political expediency. Only a special rule. provided during the very last hours of Congress. probably under the promptings of a request from the administration. whose purpose was to placate foreign blocs and shield the President from responsibility. enabled the political majority to ram Senate Joint Resolution 152 through against the wishes of many Members whose obligations of party regularity compelled them to subordinate their convictions as to the wisdom and soundness of the part of the law being postponed. with a view to its ultimate destruction.
