He says in effect that the nationalorigins provision can be put in effect as easily as the 1890 census plan. In substantiation of this I refer you to the hearings before the Senate committee. Now. ladies and gentlemen. in the one minute remaining to me I want to call your attention. and especially the attention of those of you who have been restrictionists. to this one proposition. that this is a momentous day in the history of restriction of immigration. Two days ago we took a long step backward when we gave our sanction to the first steps in a program of blanketing into citizenship probably 500.000 aliens. If this resolution passes today it means the death knell of this proposition. and another long step backward.
