Yes. Mr. President. I desire to speak very briefly on this subject. It seems to me that the McCarran bill. instead of letting down the bars and recognizing the rights of people of Asiatic birth. slams the door on them to a great degree. The question of place of birth is a serious one. We know that a great many people of Indian. Chinese. Japanese. or Filipino stock have lived for generations in England. Brazil. Belgium. France. and Ireland. But under the McCarran bill those people. if they have as much as 50 percent of socalled oriental blood. would not be charged against the quota of the country of their birth. but would be charged against the quota. the very small quotaabout 100of the country in which an ancestor lived. perhaps generations ago.
