It was necessary to put on limitations when making people from all colonies eligible for immigration by removing the racial restrictions heretofore existing. We merely put the same principle of limitation on the colonies that has been on every country since the 1924 law was passed. If there were enough immigrants in this country in 1920 from that quota area. figuring it on the basis of onesixth of 1 percent. to make a quota of more than 100. then they were given that quota. The Japanese figure out at 185. and the Chinese 105 a year. All of the other areas figure out at less than 100. so they are given a minimum of 100. as in the 1924 law.
