It is correct to say that I am seeking to deal with tile whole immigration problem or. at least. with that part of it which is left out of the pending bill. Mr. President. by way of explanation. let me say that we have now come back to the old contest as to what the quota should be based on. Should it be based on the number of nationals of a given country who live in the United States. or should we try to go back and discover. if possible. the national origins of those who are in this country. Ever since we adopted restrictive immigration we have followed the theory that it would be better to base immigration on the nationals of the respective nations living in this country. That was only changed last July. As a result of the change the quota of Italy was increased by a couple of thousand.
