The reason of the postponement is because it affects some different nationalities. I am not supporting this bill because it will lower the percentage of certain nationals who come to this country. neither am I opposing it on that account. but I am supporting it because I feel that if the nationalorigins matter is put in action it will give a greater representation to the American people. The nationalorigins provision provides that the immigration coming to this country shall not exceed one hundred and fifty thousand odd. Under the present bill it is 164.000. So I say to those of you who are in favor of strict immigration. who are in favor of keeping our people as they are. who are in favor of leaving to the American people who are to come to this country. under a limited number. you should not support this resolution to extend. . If you will put the nationalorigins proposition into effect you cut down the amount of immigrants who come and you give representation to the various nationalities that have been responsible for the upbuilding of. this country.. If you want to be fair to all nations. if you want to avoid racial discrimination. if you want to keep the blood of the United States of America
