I think that is a most appropriate interruption. Madam President. the Italian quota of 1921 was largely shifted to England in 1924. This was indeed a simple way of cutting down all Immigration. since very few English quota numbers were ever used. No other quota was so sharply cut by the 1924 law as the Italian quota. The Italian Government protested at that time against such open and unashamed discrimination against people of Italian origin. This national Insult has increased the difficulties of those who have sought to improve ItalianAmerican relations. The Judiciary Committees of the Congress have often been told by representatives of Italian organizations of the discrimination practiced against Italians.
