The number of negro immigrants in 1924 reached the total of 12.000. Under the 2 per cent provision of the 1890 basis system they are restricted. The number who could come under the British quota was limited. If we double the British quota of immigrants. it will facilitate an increase in the number of negro immigrants from the British possessions. Mr. President. the larger part of our negro immigration in 1924 came from the British possessions. The larger part of our negro immigration now comes from the British possessions. It is true that the departures last year were large. but this was to a considerable degree due to the fact there was a large deportation of negroes that came into this country in violation of the law. presumably because they could not all get on the British quota quickly. Those who have their applications ready will find it easy to come here after the 1st of July. The difference between the people of northern Europe and southern Europe is well recognized.
