But it does another thing. There was always a difference in the early days of the immigration restriction laws between concessions to male and concessions to females. More restrictions were placed against a man who was coming in. because it was maintained that a lot of girls in this country married these counts. or "noaccounts." and we always put more restrictions against the man than we did against the woman. In this law they allowed them 6 years residence. and now you are putting that down to 1 year. and the next thing you know we will put these noaccount fellows an the same basis as our fine American girls. Let us put it over until the next call of the calendar.
