When I entered his office as his legal partner. he gave me this advice as to how one should seek to convince others of the soundness of his position: "Draw the picture of a horse and write under the picture of the horse in large letters. This is a picture of a horse." I must confess that I may have fallen short of putting this advice into practice in the hearing on February 24. I maintained the position that the McCarranWalter Act is wise and just in that it allots definite immigration quotas to the nations on the basis of their contributions to our population and development. and that the administration bill is unwise and unjust in that it abolishes all national immigration quotas and makes no distinction in our immigration policies between those nations which have made contributions to our population and development and those nations which have made little or no contribution to them. I undertook to illustrate this point by calling attention to two ancient landsIreland. which has made great contributions to our population and development. and Abyssinia. which has made no contributions. It now appears that I may have made an unfortunate choice of words in calling the ancient nation of Abyssinia by Its modern legal and artificial name.
