Since the population in this period has increased by 40.000.000. this would mean considerably Increased quotas for the various countries. That bill would also include Indians and Negroes in computing the population on which quotas are based. This would have the effect of upping the British quota very greatly and increasing the number of immigrants who could be admitted from 153.000 to 263.000. I had not intended to speak at such length. due to the fact that these matters have been so fully explained heretofore and have been covered in the Presidents veto message. It is my hope that if we sustain the Presidents veto we may still get legislation which will accomplish these very humane purposes.
