Mr. President. the Washington Evening Star for August 24. 1965. carried a column by Charles Bartlett entitled "Revolt Brewing on Immigration." in which he had some comments to make on this point. I shall read this portion of the column: Since most Latin governments do not currently recognize their population problems. the imposition of a quota will provoke less diplomatic tension now than it will later when overpopulation becomes acute. Congress enactment of the quota may actually jolt the Latins into more realistic attitudes. The arguments for establishing the quotas now are so compelling and the diplomatic consequences are so nebulous that some Congressmen suspect that Rusk and Mann are resisting it purely in terms of diplomatic expediency. Their stand on immigration is certainly inconsistent with their refusal to endorse preferential trade arrangements within the Western Hemisphere. I ask unanimous consent that the entire column of Charles Bartlett. be printed at this point in the body of the RECORD.
