Mr. Speaker. I hope that the membership of this House will not reach any hasty conclusions concerning the immigration and naturalization laws which were enacted at the last session of the Congress.

In the Immigration and Naturalization Act recently enacted there is not one single thing that anybody could charge with being antiSemitic or antianything. That law was recommended to the Congress after 4 years of careful consideration. It was not devised hastily. The only concrete criticism that I have seen since the Presidents Commission was set up for the purpose of discrediting this law and filed its report came from the fact that some poor French sailorsabout onethird of the crewwere unable to spend Christmas in New York.
