President. I hope the motion of the Senator from Georgia to reconsider will be agreed to on a viva voce vote. It is quite apparent that we have now incorporated into the bill two conflicting theories upon which to determine the manner by which immigrants will be annually admitted to this country. After the motion to reconsider is agreed to we will have ample time to have various votes and discussion upon the exact number of immigrants who may be admitted to the country. Upon that phase of the question I desire to have something to say later. but I can see no harm now. but indeed much benefit in helping to expedite the action of the Senate by agreeing to reconsideration and then taking up the matter of determining the number of immigrants who may be permitted to enter the country under the bill that we finally agree upon.
