India has also furnished and will continue to furnish substantial amounts of raw materials and manufactured products of great assistance in the prosecution of the war. The present statutory provisions that discriminate against persons of East Indian descent provoke Illfeeling. now serve no useful purpose. and are incongruous and inconsistent with the dignity of both of our peoples. The quota for East Indian persons would be approximately 100 immigrants a year. There can be no real danger that this small number of immigrants will cause unemployment or provide competition In the search for jobs. It is my hope that the Congress will take steps to remove the present provisions of our immigration and naturalization laws that discriminate against persons of East Indian descent. Very sincerely yours.
