The House bill ind the Gould amendment carried a figure of about 67.000. Seven per cent of 980.938 would be 68.665 for Canada. and 7 per cent of 77.853 would be a quota of 5.449 for Mexico. There has been an average annual emigration to the United States from Mexico during the past five fiscal years of 56.000. A 7 per cent rate would reduce the quota of Mexico to less than onetenth of the number of Mexicans who have been lawfully admitted into the United States during the last half decade. If it should be decided to double the Western Hemisphere quotas over that now fixed by the Harris bill. a 3 per cent rate would fix the Canadian quota at 29.428. and the Mexican quota would be 2.335.
