I am sorry I can not be any too sure about this. The handling of treaties is a matter for the Committee on Foreign Relations. In previous Congresses members of that committee have been consulted whenever immigration laws require mention or reference to treaties. If I read this correctly. in an effort to clarify. we have moved up the words of another paragraph. namely. "wife and unmarried children. under 21 years of age." and put them in with those persons we are proposing to admit under treaty relations. The real purpose is to permit the making of some treaties since 1924. and I think it is far better to vote down this amendment with reference to adopted children. because I know that efforts have been made on every hand to include adopted children in the nonquota classes of people coming as immigrants. So I am afraid to ask you to vote for this amendment. If it can be properly put in.
