Mr. President. I know the views of the Senator from Mississippi on the question of the quota system of the United States. but nevertheless a great many of us feel that maintaining. as we do. the 1920 census3 censuses before the lastas the basis for establishing nationality quotas. which arbitrarily cuts off some 65.000 additional opportunities for worthy immigration into the United States. is simply wrong. The administration is against it. I think a great body of opinion in the country is against it. May we ask the Senator from Mississippi whether he will afford a hearing early in the next session of Congress on the entire question of the quota system?
