In my opinion the final result between. LXX----27 the nationalorigins provision and the 1890 census basis is not especially material to the future of this country. The nationalorigins clause reduces the number of immigrants some 14.000 and shifts a few thousand from one country to another. In my opinion. it is not especially material whether a thousand is taken from Sweden and added to Great Britain or a thousand from Great Britain and added to Sweden. The trouble we have found in the nationalorigins proposition. and its inclusion in the 1924 immigration bill was from the day of the passage until this day it has been a cause of unrest on the part of certain foreign groups. Here is one foreign group that gets less under the nationalorigins proposition. than under the 1890 basis. and so they are opposed to its going into effect. The nationalities that would gain 200 or 1.000 are in favor of it.
