I have favored the bill which he introduced permitting these people to be brought in here but placing them within the quota. The number is not large. and I feel that this should be done in the interest of America and American industry. and we should permit these people to come in here outside of the quota. I have the utmost confidence in the Secretary of Labor and In the Commissioner of Immigration that they will not permit anyone to come unless it is proven beyond any doubt that such skilled labor can not be obtained in the United States. and in view of that fact. if we are honest and sincere and wish to be helpful and do not wish to be altogether inhuman. we should adopt as a substitute the bill which the gentleman from California has introduced and favored. and I want to say right here that he is about as good a restrictionist as we have in the House. The gentleman has always believed in extreme restriction. but he recognizes the need of this legislation. and I am willing and I will favor the substitution of the bill which he originally introduced placing all these people outside of the quota for the bill now under consideration.
