Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. five years ago. when the restricted immigration law was passed. the House committee and this House. for reasons they thought were for the best interests of our country. fixed upon the 1890 census. In the Senate the nationalorigins amendment was added. The House conferees were opposed to that amendment. but as the gentleman from Tennessee said this morning in speaking of another bill. a conference report is in the nature of a compromise. At that time I was opposed to the nationalorigins provision. not because I was opposed to the result. but because I could foresee this very day.
