Mr. President. I would like to add to what the Senator from Washington just said that the letters which I have been receiving in very great number and petitions which have come in a great many different forms from my State. urging the repeal of the nationalorigins clause in accordance with the recommendation of the President. show no evidence of having been inspired by steamship companies or any other central organization. They express the opinions of a large number of people who feel very deeply in the matter. particularly those who feel that their countries and their relatives are being discriminated against in a way which is not justifiable. In a word. they come largely from those of Scandinavian origin who feel that the results of immigration from those countries to the United States are of such a nature as to deserve better treatment than they expect to receive if this nationalorigins provision goes into effect.
