The WalterMcCarran Act was a codification of a great deal of legislation that had its inception immediately after World War I and during the twenties. when we first began to limit immigration to this country. They adopted this quota system then which was in principle that people who were not of the white race would not even be regarded as inhabitants of the United States. That Includes American Indians. It put this matter on a racial basis and adopted the principle of national origins. I do not argue with the principle of na.tional origins but I do take issue with the fact that they chose in determining the quotas to adopt a principle that recognized only people of one race.
