By that one act all of the beneficial results of his famous "goodwill tour " will be destroyed. The people of the Western Hemisphere who live south of the Rio Grande will be quick to resent this discrimination against them. During all of my 15 years service in Congress I have consistently supported legislation to restrict immigration. I have voted for every immigration law placed on the statute books during that time. Under the conditions as they existed prior to last year I was ready to vote to impose an immigration quota on all the countries of the Western Hemisphere. In the light of what has been accomplished during the past nine months I am now convinced that the only question which remains is whether this drastic reduction in Mexican immigration as brought about by the State Department will be maintained. I believe that President Hoover can be trusted to carry on this policy and that he should be given full opportunity to perpetuate it without embarrassment from congressional action.
