I do not know as it will help you. but In my Judgment any other quota announced by our Government would be equally as well accepted after a.few years. The nationalorigins plan will establish a permanent basis upon which future quotas can be fixed and can be justified. No census of foreign born only can furnish such a basis. If a proposition is fair. it can be justified and can be made to work. No discrimination should be practiced toward any nationality. If certain nationalities were favored by the selection of the 1890 census. those nationalities will. when they thoroughly understand the situation. be willing to accept any fair readjustment. Restriction of immigration is a permanent policy in our country now. Those who favor the national origins are not asking for new legislation. They are only asking that the law passed after due deliberation by the Congress in 1924 be permitted to go into effect without further hindrance.
