NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 73 I would also like to say that I received from Mrs. Linkletter, who testified on Wednesday, a telegraphic request that I correct her testi- mony. In presenting her attitude she said that her organization was in favor of the 1924 census, but what she meant to say was that she was in favor of the 1924 act as it stands with the national origins. If I have the committee’s permission, I would like to make that cor- rection. I would also like to present resolutions I have here——- hs CHAIRMAN. You can present them without reading, if you please. oo Mr. Lroyp. The significant paragraph is—this is signed by Mus. Linkletter— The CuamrmaN. They will be printed in the record, if you please. Mz. Lroyp. It is just merely a correction. She used the wrong word. (The resolutions referred to are as follows:) whereas Senate Joint Resolution 192 introduced by Senator Nye provides for a further postponement of one year in putting into effect the national-ovigins clause of the immigration aet of 1924 by which the inequalities in the quotas of certain countries determined on the 1890 foreign-born celtsus basis are re- moved so that our immigration is apportioned fairly in accordance with the number of people in our present population of each national origin; and Whereas said national-origins provision is a fundamental part of the system of quota restriction adopted by Congress in 1924, and further delay in putting the same into effect amounts to repudiation of our whole present system of restriction ; Resolved by the Hudson County Branch of New Jersey of the Immigration Restriction League (Ire), at a regular meeting held on the jth day of Febru- try, 1929, That said Senate Joint Resolution 192 is against the public interest and should not be enacted into law. Sapye E. LINKLETTER, President. Epwarp L. MAYER, Secretary. Whereas a bill (H. R. 349), amended by the Senate committee, and reported favorably to the Senate by Senator Copeland, which would permit the legaliza- tion of aliens who illegally entered the country prior to July 1, 1924, thus permitting such illegal entrants to become naturalized; and Whereas a similar bill introduced by Congressman Schneider (H. R. 13793) has been reported favorably in the House of Representatives; and Whereas the passage of said bills would strike a serious blow at our whole system of naturalization by making citizens out of thousands and probably hundreds of thousands of aliens who have never been in the country except as trespassers and who have never passed inspection under the immigration laws : Therefore be it Resolved by the Immigration Restriction League (Inc.) (Hudson County, N. J., branch, at a regular meeting held on the 4th day of February, 1929), That said bills, H. R. 349 and H. R. 13793, are against the public interest and should be defeated in both Houses of Congress. SADYE BE. LINRKLETTER. President. EpwaARrRDp Li. MAYER, Sr. I1. Resolved, That the Hudson County Brauch, of New Jersey, of the Immi- gration Restriction League (Inc), at a regular meeting held on the 4th day of February, 1929, hereby indorses Senate bill 5903, introduced by Senator Blease, for the issuance of certificates of admission to aliens who have law- fully entered the United States in compliance with our laws, and also Senate bill 5904, introduced by Senator Blease, making the reentry of previously deported aliens a felony. Epwarp IL. MAYER, Sr. ITI. Resolved, That the Hudson County branch, of New Jersey, of the Immi- gration Restriction League (Ine.), at a regular meeting held on the 4th day
