Presidekt. I had concluded what I desired to say. I wish to emphasize one thought. namely. that the Norbeck amendment adopts a basis of fixing immigration which is illogical. discriminatory. and arbitrary. It can not be ultimately defended. those who oppose restricting immigration know very well that it can not be ultimately defended. and therefore theyI do not mean the Senators but those in the country who wish to break down the system of restrictive immigrationare back of tie effort to repeal the nationalorigins clause. as they have been back of that effort from the moment that it was suggested in the Immigration Committee of this body. of which I was at that time a member. They were back of the opposition to the nationalorigins provision when the senior Senator from Pennsylvania offered it on the floor of the Senate in 1924. they have been back of it when the two successful efforts to postpone its operation were in progress. and now that it has been in operation but three months. they are still back of it. and this is the first step in the undoing of our efforts to restrict Immigration.
