Thus it will be seen that the English quota profited at the expense of the Scandinavian. German. and other nationalities. The practical effect of this system of determining the inunigration quotas on the basis of national origin. as worked out by the experts. is that Great Britain and Northern Ireland nearly double their quotas. wlile Germany and the Irish Free State lose nearly half. Norway and Sweden lose nearly twothirds. Denmark over onehaif. and Switzerland about onethird. All of these nationals. from every standpoint of Anerican citizenship. are highly desirable immigrants. There should be no discrimination against any of them in favor of others. Particularly should no such unjust discrimination be made
