I believe that in 1924 I offered an amendment to the immigration bill identical in character with this. and so far as the inquiry of the Senator from Illinois is concerned. we have in the RECORD of 1924 a letter from the then Secretary of State. Mr. Hughes. and also a letter from the Department of Commerce. showing that. with certain amendments. there would be no conflict between the legislation then proposed and the treaties we have with foreign countries. I ask the Senator from Pennsylvania if he will refrain from pushing a vote on his amendment until the author of the bill may be present?
