Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. I rise to reply to the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts . who spoke to us so entertainingly a few moments ago upon the question of the nationalorigins clause of the immigration law. This question has been before a committee in the other branch of Congress for consideration. and the newspapers of this morning say that yesterday that committee made its report. and the committee stood about as follows: Seven members of the committee were opposed to the Nye resolution and four were in favor of it. What is the Nye resolution? The Nye resolution is a resolution providing for another postponement of the nationalorigins clause. In 1924 the immigration law was passed. carrying with it the nationalorigins clause. In 1926 the Congress postponed the going into effect of that provision of the law. and in 1927 Congress again postponed it. The Nye resolution seeks to do the salne thing this year.
