Under the present law the surpluses of unused quota numbers are canceled and are not transferred. Similarly in the case of the Irish Free State. during the past 4 years the average annual entrants have numbered between 6.000 and 7.000. leaving unused quotas of from 10.000 to 11.000. which are canceled. Furthermore. because of the fact that people of a given nationality group are counted only according to their place of birth. the German quota has been undersubscribed despite the large migrant population in Germany seeking to emigrate. The result is that. because of the cancellation of the unused quotas. instead of admitting 150.000 each year. not more than from 90.000 to 100.000 people each year come into the United States under the quota system. Now. while the quotas for Great Britain and Ireland are not used. in other countries there is a tremendous excess demand for these quotas. Let us take the case of Italy.
