It should be abolished. Unless we settle this problem finally. by eliminating all national preferences. questions may be raised in future years as to why a citizen of Peru or Bolivia is given an open door for entry while an applicant from France. Greece. Italy. or the United Kingdom must wait in line under the quota system. I. therefore. intend to support an amendment to end this discrimination in favor of Western hemisphere nations. I feel sure that our Western Hemisphere neighbors will understand and accept a U.S. policy which plainly does not discriminate either for or against nationals of certain countries.
