Those who are anxious to pass this legislation ought to act on it now. because it is perfectly evident that we are about to take a recess in the Senate. and if the matter shall be delayed until after the holidays we will then have before us the Glass banking bill. a very important measure. and it is quite probable there will be other important matters coming over from the House of Representatives. and some reported from our committees. so it is very likely that after we come back there will be a legislative jam in the Senate. The statement of the Senator from Connecticut as to the situation was very clear. and I think every member of the committee concurs in the statement. There is practically no difference at all. except that the immigration clause was rewritten by the senior Senator from California . and agreed to by both sides. The House cut down the length of time from the period we fixed. 7 and 5 years. to 5 and 5 years. and insisted that there be a quota in effect during the 5 years. as provided in the bill. I venture to say that is all there is in the conference report that was not in the bill passed by the Senate.
