I quote further from Mr. Cottons statement: Immigration in earlier years was much greater. Of the 9.765 immigration visas issued to Mexicans in the 8month period. July. 1929. to February. 1930. inclusive. only 1.125. or 141 per month. were issued to common laborers without a previous residence in the United States. This type of immigration is therefore now enterIng the United States at a rate of less than 1.700 per annum. No application of the quota would reduce these figures substantially. Mr. Cotton spoke in behalf of the present Secretary of Sttte. Hon. Henry L. Stimson. who is now ill attendance at the Conference for the Limitation of Naval Armaments ill London.
