It was the English. the Scotch. the Welsh. the Irish. the Scandinavians. the Germans. the French. and the Spanish. and the Dutch. and the Italians. and other nations of that kind. The Japs or the Chinese were not here in any numbers when the country was built up. They did not contribute toward the building of the country as other nations. Consequently when Congress passed the quota laws they provided that the principal quotas should go to those countries whose people predominated in the country. But to be fair and courteous the Congress provided that every country should have a minimum quota of 100. China has had a quota of 100 from the time the law was first passed.
