I deny retreat or that I have misinformed anyone. and I shall not press the matter further at this time. Mr. Speaker. under leave granted to extend remarks let me March 14. a statement as to the situation in reference to restrictive immigration. and outline a program which has been talked over by members of the committee for some time past. I call attention to a bill introduced by me today. the number of which will be found in its proper place in this REcORD. H. R. 17401. a bill to further restrict immigration. It is likely to be part of the program. In my remarks I shall show that neither the chairman nor the committee has retreated. or bent the knee. or made obeisance. or made a crooked path for others to follow. When the report on the immigration bill. which became the act of 1924. was signed by myself and 14 other members out of 17 memiers of the conunittee. the bill contained no "nationalorigins" provision. In conference we yielded doubtfully. to save the billwhich bill is now the law. We are now marching to the position originally held.
