Mr. President. just follow me briefly through a few of the estimates which have been made. The first estimate was made at the time of the enactment of the immigration act of 1924. Another was made on January 7. 1927. Another was made on February 27. 1928. Another was made on February 21. 1929. Let us take a few of the countries involved in this quota basis and see how the figures ascribed to them as being their title to immigration totals under the nationalorigins clause have varied under these estimates. Take Austria. for example. Under the first estimate Austria had 2.171.
