When our Government resists or condemns the imperialistic actions or aggressions of any other country toward peoples of other races. it gives our position moral stamina and integrity. it enhances our prestige. it produces confidence in our sincerity and will influence greatly the battle for mens minds and hearts that is going on between the two philosophies of life and government that are locked in mortal struggle in our world. There are three or four more provisions I would just like to mention. The bill simplifies the manner of computing quotas by changing from the old fraction carried to the twelfth decimal point to onesixth of 1 percent of the number of Immigrants from a given quota area in the United States according to the 1920 census. That will reduce all quotas. above the minimum of 100. by a very small degree. amounting in toto to 635 less numbers available per year to all the world. Some of the technical language in the bill is merely to repeal or modify existing law where superseded by or in conflict with the provisions of this bill. One most important device. which is the heart of the mechanism. is the socalled AsiaPacific triangle. to which is assigned a separate AsiaPacific quota. If you will look in the committee report. you will find a map of the triangle which was worked out for us by the geographers of the State Department. Every immigrant from a country or dominion or trust territory under the United Nations. lying wholly within the AsiaPacific triangle. must come in under the quota assigned to the given quota area. such as China. India. Japan.
