No. I stated positively that not nearly that many came in. This is due to the foresight and statesmanship of Mr. Hoover in promulgating an order to the immigration authorities to be more strict. Now. let us consider the nonquota immigrants. Under the present law 261.000 people can come in each year nonquota. We have so many exceptions to the quotas that exceptions predominate and outweigh and outnumber the quota itself. Our policy has been to keep these exceptions down. to keep the quota down and to keep as many people within the quota as possible. and. in order to do that. about four years ago we adopted what I think was a very fine plan. which provides preferences within the quota.
