Certainly. There were 111.940 persons waiting on March 15. 1929. on" the list to get. their visas from Great Britain. On the other hand. a similar estimate was made for Germany which shows that the registered demand against the German quota is 54.816 and the estimated number who would apply if there were no restrictions is 46.014. or a total estimatd admission of 100.830 persons. which is sufficient to absorb the present 1890 quota of Germany for nearly two years and would be sufficient to absorb the German nationalorigins quota for nearly four years. It is correct. therefore. to say that every nation gets all the visas now that our law permits. that there is a wastage of about 6 per cent in the arrivals. and that the number of waiting applicants in Germany and In Great Britain is enough to exhaust the quota for several years to come. In other countries the demand is greater. I do not know that we need to go into the detail of it very much. but the fact is that in some countries the estimated demand is sufficient to exhaust. the quota for the next 1.200 years.
