I am opposed to their activities through the foreignlanguage pres". It makes it harder to assimilate those who really desire to be assimilated and affects the second generation. The public demands more restriction of immigration. and I am in hopes that a bill can be prepared which will more effectively restrict. Quotas should be issued for whole families and not for individuals of a family. In my opinion. both the 2 per cent of 1890 and the nationalorigins proposal are merely yardsticks for getting a measure that will cut quotas and keep us within our treaty obligations. Whichever plan prevails. the total quota for new seed immigrants should be much less. We suffer now from much bloodstock animosity because we were fully 25 years too late in the restriction of immigration. These charges of prejudice and discrimination will continue. no matter which plan finally prevails. It persists. because of the stock from which any one of us sprung in a population of 120.000.000 souls.
