Speech #700170395

I am very glad that the gentleman is asking that question. because the recent hearings before the Senate committee have brought out in a convincing manner the fact that the propaganda that is going over the country to the effect that the nationalorigins clause is impracticable of operation and can not be put into effect is without foundation. Doctor Hill. in testifying before the committee during the last few days. said that the nationalorigins clause is more certain than the 1890 plan. and as far as whether the clause can be put into effect is concerned. from an administrative standpoint. all that need be done is to read the hearings before the Senate committee and see where Mr. White. of the Department of Labor. testifies that there will be absolutely no trouble in putting the nationalorigins clause into effect any more than there would be in putting the 1890 quota law into effect. I shall quote his testimony further along in this discussion. I want to throw out one proposition for your consideration.
