We find all through here a difference. as in the case of Germany. in the last two estimates of 1.000. in the case of Russia a difference of 750. in the case of Ireland a difference of 450. in the case of Poland a difference of 550. in the case of Italy a difference of 200. a 30 per cent change In the case of Lithuania. a difference of 300 in France. and so it goes. Is it any wonder. I repeat. that there are people who seriously question the accuracy and the fairness of nationalorigins basis as a fair basis for Immigration quotas? Not at all. There have been some exceedingly wild statements made with reference to national origins. and I expect they have been made alike upon both sides in the controversy. but I see no ground and I see no reason for people to resort to the claim that the nationalprigins basis of immigration. if it discriminates JU NE 3 against any people at all. discriminates against the people of southern and westerln Europe. That is false. That is not the case at all. The immigration quotas under the nationalorigins provision will give increased quotas to all of the countries of southern and western Europe. Southwestern Europe will enjoy an increase of 4.000 under national origins. while Great Britain is enjoying an increase in its quotas. The five nations as well in northern Europethat section which has contributed our best in American immigration. Norway. Sweden.
