I shall not object to this bill. but I wish to serve notice now that in the future I shall feel compelled to object to such private relief bills unless it is provided that the quota be reduced by one number in each case. so that the person to be admitted will be admitted within the quota. Some years ago we adopted the principle of deducting one number from the quota whenever we passed such private relief bills. If we pass such bills without reducing the quota. that will mean that we shall be greatly increasing immigration into the United States. I respectfully request of the Senator that he see to it that such deductions are made from the quotas.
