Speech #710172944

The roll call related to an amendment offered by the late Senator Willis. of Ohio. to the immigration bill which. the Senator will remember. was being discussed in April. 1924. which amendment I did not read but described in Senator Williss own language as an amendment. in effect. which "provides that the same rule which is applied to the remainder of the world shall be applied to the American Continent." The junior Senator from Virginia is not recorded as having voted at that time. From the figures of visas issued by our consular officials during the fiscal year ended June 30. 1929. it appears that 4.556 persons applied for visas in their desire to come to the United States from the 18 South and Central American republics south of Mexico. The figures are rather interesting. Mr.
