He recognized the impossibility of human determination in accordance with the basis provided in that law. He recognized the offensiveness of it. and he recognized that this was not bringing into effect in America a new policy with reference to the restriction of immigration. because we have it now. We have it now in the act of 1924. Two per cent of the foreignborn population as of 1890 means approximately 164.000 immigrants who are entitled to admission from quota countries in Europe each year. and in turn the number to which each country is entitled is simply a matter of mathematics. That can be arrived at. It is a definite and certain enunciation of a principle. and it naturally follows that there is a definite and certain determination of the quotas.
