President. I desire to make a very brief statement in regard to this conference report. House bill 3517. as originally presented. amends our immigration laws by permitting the immigration of the races of people living in India. which is a British possession. It allows India a quota of immigrants and permits the nationalization of all Indians who came into our country before the restrictive immigration laws were passed in the 1920s. A similar bill allowing a quota to natives of the Philippines was also passed by the House. The conference report seeks to merge these two bills into one. so as to allow a quota to both countries and to nationalize those of the two countries who are already living in the United States.
