Mr. President. in explanation of the amendment. it proposes certain changes in the present immigration law. It deals only with the quotas from the Eastern Hemisphere. The amendment is carefully drawn. it has been submitted to fhe Solicitor of the Department of Labor. and it fits into the law. It proposes two things: First. to get away from that system which gives us a large immigration from the nonselfgoverning countries. In other words. it gives a larger quota to northern Europe. or rather it goes back to the same basis upon which we were proceeding prior to July 1. with one exception. A horizontal cut of 25 per cent is proposed.
