It shall be my purpose to clarify and make positive some matters that were discussed by me and the gentleman from Illinois during the course of his address. I took the position that if this proposed legislation were enacted that China would then enjoy two separate quotas. There is no question but that I Was right in my position and as proof of it I cite the report of the Immigration Committee of which the gentleman is a member. On page 2 of this report. the following language appears: While a quota of 100 per annum has been allotted to China it has been available only to persons of races eligible to citizenship born in that country. Further in that same report and on the same page it appears clearly that the enactment of this proposed legislation would grant to China another quota of 105 which would be filled as prescribed in the bill and as set forth in the report as above referred to.
