President. I offer the amendment which I send to the desk and ask to have read. I will say in explanation that It is in line with the remarks which I made the other day in which I called attention to the fact that the bill as drawn by the Senator from Georgia provided a quota for 18 of the countries to the south of Mexico. practically none of which sends us any immigrants to compete with our laborers. The people who come to us from those countries are almost exclusively teachers. business men. and travelers. who are not affected by the quota. and therefore the quota is unnecessary. Without such a provision as my amendment proposes. it would make it harder for us to remain on friendly relations with those countries.
