I hope that we will also proceed to enact the homeconstruction program. so badly needed to revive the thousands of building and loan companies in the country. Then we should proceed to enact legislation that will keep American jobs for Americans. This can be aided by the enactment of the Jenkins bill. introduced by myself. and which restricts the flow of immigrants into our country. This bill passed the House in the last session of Congress. and would have passed the Senate but for a filibuster. This bill provides for a 90 per cent cut in immigration from all quota countries and puts Canada and Mexico and all the countries of the Western Hemisphere under a quota. and then reduces that quota by 90 per cent. This bill. if passed. will keep the American labor market for the American laboring man and will keep out the communists and many other undesirables that we do not need. The restriction of immigration is one of the most important national functions. President Hoover in his last message to Congress recommended the passage of legislation in line with that provided in the Jenkins bill. This Congress should also enact legislation that would provide a guaranty of bank deposits.
