Mr. Speaker. the question of immigration from alien countries into the United States is a problem which is now confronting the Nation. In the early history of the United States we were anxious and willing to admit people from other countries to help develop and settle what is now this great Nation of ours. With the tremendous increase of population within the Nation it would appear that we vill have within the United States. in just a few more generations. sufficient people to completely fill the country. It is true that we have today an excess of labor in various industries. especially is this true in the most thickly populated sections of our country. The quota restriction law. concerning all countries. is correct. The principle of quota should be fair in dealing with the foreign nations in not separating families where people are desirous of changing their country. but such quota should always be proper to protect home industry and labor. Senate Joint Resolution 5. which passed the House yesterday. has for its purpose the uniting of families for the preservation of a home.
