This particular section undertakes to deal only with the mechanics of the authority that is bestowed upon this economic conference. It deals. or undertakes to deal. exclusively with the powers conferred. and those powers are enumerated in particular terms. to wit: Lowering excessive tariff duties and eliminating discriminatory and unfair trade practices and other economic barriers affecting international trade and finance. preventing retaliatory tariff measures and economic wars. and promoting fair. equal. and friendly trade and commercial relations between nations. If the committee were allowed by this amendment to undertake to consider the question of immigration. in the opinion of the Chair it would be bringing into the field of operation an entirely alien subject to that contemplated by this sectionnew matter which. in the opinion of the Chair. is not germane to the bill or to the section to which the amendment is offered. The Chair therefore sustains the point of order.
