I agree with the gentleman. Now. bearing on that. may I call attention to a statement made by the Commissioner General of Immigration in his annual report for 1925. page 29: The bureau feels that the present method of ascertaining the quotas is far more satisfactory than the proposed determination by national origin. that it has the advantages of simplicity and certainty. It is of the opinion that the proposed change will lead to great confusion and result in complexities. and accordingly it is recommended that the pertinent portions of section 11. provlding for this revision of the quotas as they now stand. be rescinded. I am now coming back to 1790.
