I repeat. Mr. President. the question of reducing the number of immigrants is not involved. It is simply a question of from which country they are to come. Mr. President. this question comes up before the Senate in rather an lusual form. We are about to vote on the resolution of the Senator from North Dakota to discharge the Comlnittee on Immigration from the further consideration of Senate bill 151. to put into effect the quota based upon the 1890 census. The immigrants admitted under the proposed change in law would. therefore. be slightly less than 2 per cent of the foreignborn nationals living in this country at the time the 1.890 census was taken. Unless favorable action is taken on this resolution. the nationalorigins plan goes into effect
