What you say about considering the bills "on their merits " Is exactly right. But I want to say something in reply to Colonel MacCormack. These are immigration bills. or at least H.R. 9365 is an immigration bill. It does increase immigration. It violates the memorandum of the Secretary of Labor and the letter of the President. It admits the stepchild. the husbands of citizens. the mother. and the father over 60 years of age. It would increase immigration. There are no "Ifs ". ands ". or "buts" about its increasing immigration. Now. there remain four other bills. Mr. DicxsTEINs bill H.R. 9518. which supersedes Mr. CROWEs bill. repeals section 19 of the Immigration Act of February 5. 1917. and places in the hands of the Secretary of Labor a great deal of discretionary power. It gives the Secretary of Labor authority that. in our opinion. no one person should have. I am a great admirer of Frances Perkins.
