It gets away from the objection of the quota. I have a good deal of sympathy with the objection raised by the Senator from Connecticut . While I realize that the highest privilege that any country may possess is that of establishing its own standard of living and of protecting that standard of life by its immigration laws. yet I realize also that at this time we ought to have a decent regard for neighborly associations. My amendment. by failing to draw comparisons. by failing to set aside quotas. by merely establishing this lanket limitation. I think. is subject to less objection from the standpoint of the Senator from Connecticut than anything that might be offered.
