President. I will put those figures in the RwoR also. I may say that all of the quotas are exhausted. and there is a great flood of applications for quota visas from every country. with the exception of a few of the smaller political units and the countries of the Far East. whose quota Is only nominal. For example. there is a Japanese quota of 100. there is a Chinese quota of 100. there is an Abyssinian quota of 100. but nobody can get a visa within that quota unless he can show that he is of Aryan descent. and the consequence is that there is no demand for those little odd quotas. When this matter was sent to be studied by the commission created under the act. three Cabinet officers were given charge of the determination of these quotas. with instructions that they were to use the Census Bureau in making them up. On J.anuary 3. 1927. they made their report to the President. and he sent their report to Congress.
