I have read the message. which has been distributed to all the Members of the Senate. There are many important suggestions and some good recommendations in it.. I am very happy that the President in his message has recognized the validity and necessity of the battle which I have been carrying on for so many years against the unfair national origins quota system. In his message the President said: Experience in the postwar world demonstrates that the present nationalorigins method of admitting aliens needs to be reexamined. and a new system adopted which will admit aliens within allowable numbers according to new guidelines and standards. That statement recognizes the fact that the national originis quota system must be discarded and a new system set up. In legislation now before the Congress. I have proposed such a system which I believe is practicable. humane. and in accord with the democratic traditions of America.
