I move to strike out the last word. Mr. Chairman. there seems to be an Impression among some of the Members that this legislation would dispense with or would be a socalled entering wedge to relax our immigration laws. This is incorrect. I am not in favor of relaxing our present laws with respect to immigration. The gentleman from Ohio is one of the distinguished and influential Members of this House. He is a former member of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. His work on the committee was outstanding and his interest on behalf of restricted immigration on the floor of this House is most effective. Like my good friend from Ohio. I am also for restrictee immigration. As a matter of fact. I have introduced a bill now pending before the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization that would cut the quotas 50 percent for the next 10 years. The minimum of this in each case would be 100. I agree that immediately following this war the question of immigration is koing to be a most important and tremendous one. That problem will have to be handled with extreme care and prudence to see that. after all. the best interests of America are properly sateguarded.
