I may say to the distinguished Senator from Illinois. with reference to his very fine comment. that under the bill which we are now considering professors and others who under present law. are nonquota and are given preference. will be denied preference. That means that we will not be able t give an opportunity to fine musicians. persons who are learned in languages. and those who are learned in the fine arts to become emigrants to the United States. In this bill we place a premium on people with scientific knowledge. but the bill in that respect is bad in several ways. For example. under present law we permit fathers and mothers of immigrants. naturalized citizens. to have preference. We give them top preference. That has been changed under the McCarran bill.
