It has been suggested here that the Poles are not getting fair treatment. -Let me explain to the House that they are getting fair treatment. because tfieir quota for each -year is 6.500. and as was stated by the good gentleman. Mr. LESINSKI. a few moments ago. their quota has been oversubscribed for 10 years. which is positive proof that our Government and our immigration officials have been eminently fair to the Polish people. Is there any doubt about it when you take into consideration that in this bill the Latvian quota Is mortgaged to the tune of 65 years. the Estonian quota is mortgaged to the tune of 121 years. and the Lithuanian quota is mortgaged to the extent of 166 years? However. it is the best we can do under the circumstances.
