Mr. Speaker. the statement was made on the floor by the gentleman from Ohio that all persons who are in favor of the suspension of the nationalorigins clause are against restriction of immigration. I have been a member of the Committee on Immigration since the beginning of my service in Congress. I have been a strong restrictionist in respect to every action that has been taken on this subject. I helped prepare the 1924 immigration law. I believe in numerical restriction. I voted to make the total number less than was provided in the original bill introduced by the chairman of the committee. and as it was carried in the law the total was less than proposed in the bill as introduced.
