Mr. Chairman. the gentleman from New York is in error when he takes the position that the subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary was not aware of what the situation was when this particular section was included in the bill. We were well aware of what the situation was and in writing a bill providing for equality under our naturalization and immigration laws we certainly did not think that that was being carried out where the West Indies could use the largest quota. and are using. according to the statement of the gentleman from New York. the largest quota provided for any nation in the world. the quota for Great Britain. The British quota is approximately 66.000. The gentleman from New York stated amoment ago that in recent years about 80.000 people have come to New York City from the West Indies.
