I believe. by the adoption of the nationalorigins plan. Of that reduction. the northern and western Europeans lose it all and 5.000 besides. because they lose 16.553. or a total loss of the imnmigration from northern and western Europe of about 13 per cent. while southern and eastern Europe make a total gain of 4.454. which is an increase of over 25 per cent. Those are the figures. those are the facts. as nearly as we can get at them from the information furnished us by the special commission and by the Bureau of Immigration. I say. for one. for a member of some of these patriotic societies that haye been talked about. for one who has been consistently in favor of restricted immigration. as has been proven by my record here. particularly within the past few days. and by one who believes that if we are to have immigration in any degree the greatest percentage of that should come and must come from the peoples whose blood makes up the racial stock or pioneer stock here in Americathe British. the Germans. the Scandinavians. the Dutch. the Danes. the French. the Swiss. the Irish. and so forththat that is my individual position. and I believe my position agrees With that of the majority of the citizens of this country. That is the reason why I was and am against the nationalorigins planthe figures I have given here. and the general situation that they bring about. We were told on the floor of the Senate that what we were getting in the nationalorigins plan was a limitation of immigration which would bring into this country the peoples who make up the basic stock of the American people. I think the figures I have given. which can not be denied or controverted if the tables from which they are drawn are In any degree correct. explode that theory as advanced on the floor of the Senate last spring. For one.
