I will tell the Senator frankly that such a man ought to be examined. because no man could have made his position upon national origins plainer than President Hoover made his position in his acceptance speech. Let me read it. I have read it before. but it will do no harm to read it again: No man will say that any Immigration or tariff law Is perfect. We welcome our new immigrant citizens and their great contribution to our Nation. we seek only to protect them equally with those alreadj. here. We shall amend the immigration laws to relieve unnecessary hardships upon families. As a member of the commission whose duty it is to determine the quota basis under the nationalorigins law I have found it is impossible to do so accurately and without hardship. The basis now in effect carries out the essential principle of the law and I favor repeal of that part of the act calling for a new basis of quotas.
