May I add. the danger of this. Mr. Chairman. is that we are going back 300 years and making you and me. who are Americans. and consider ourselves Americans. take a position which would destroy the assimilation which all elements and all races have undergone during the past 300 years. and making not only the foreign born of 1920 take a position on this but every one of us. no matter what the origin of our common ancestors who first cane to America may have been? But going back to the American Legion. it has taken a position on quotas. When they take a position favoring the underlying principle of the nationalorigins clause. they take a position upon the quotas. and when they do that they make a mistake and they exceed the purposes of their organization.
