President. I want to amplify briefly something the Senator from Montana has just said. I am quite certain that practically all of the patriotic groups. real and socalled. in the United States which have taken an Interest in the immigration question have done so because they believe two things. In the first place. they believe that under the national origins act we are going really to restrict immigration over the present figure. In the next place. they believe. putting it very frankly. that under the national origins act we will have a gain from northern and western Europe and that we will lose from other parts of the world. That is absolutely an erroneous idea. I do not believe that the patriotic organizations. the American Legion and others. if they had the facts placed squarely before them. would be in favor of the national origins act as the results have been worked out. The claimed purpose of the method is a very patriotic one. but it is the result in which we are interested. I have prepared a very brief table on the subject.
