The law. however. has had the effect of causing a great deal of irritation and disturbance. and I believe that it should be repealed. The advocates of the nationalorigin clause did not know what it would accomplish. It was offered on the floor of the House as an amendment to the immigration bill in 1924. and was overwhelmilmgly voted down by the Members of the House. I am glad to say that I voted against It at that time. and have voted against putting it in force at every opportunity I have had since. The nationalorigin clause was added to the Immigration bill in the Senate and was kept in the bill in conference.
