NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 35 that I pursued the inquiry in reference to Mr. Hoover. I wanted to get the reactions of this gentleman in that regard. Mr. Lroyp. Of course, my attitude on that is a matter of public record. We put a large advertisement in the newspaper the other day, in which we catalogued the opponents of national origins, and the first group was the antirestriction group, who are opposed to all restriction, and merely want to knock national origins out as the first step; and, second, those various groups specially favored under the 1890 basis; and third, sir, the people who had been led to misun- derstand the value, character, and purpose of national origins as a result of the propaganda eminating from Groups No. 1 and No. 2. The CrairkmaN, You understand, do you not, that the matter that is before the committee is not a repeal of the national-origins provisions? Mr. Lroyp. Yes, sir; I do. The CHAIRMAN. It 1s a resolution introduced by the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. Lroyp. I understand. The CrairvaN. Directing postponement for a year, as the matter has been twice before postponed ? Mr. Lroyp. Yes. ~The CHARMAN, So that the repeal does not enter into the proposi- tion at the moment? Mr. Lroyp. No, sir; we appreciate that. Senator Reep. Without cutting the dog’s tail off entirely, we are taking it off by inches; that is the proposition. The Cmarrman. Now, wait a minute. I am not going to let that pass, if you will permit me, because the other postponements have been at the insistence and suggestion of the Senator from Pennsyl- vania. Now, do not forget that. Now, he feels that he has, and correctly so doubtless, more information on the subject and is ready to act. But he did not feel so in the matter of the other postpone- ments, and he was the one who was the main mover, or one of the movers in conjunction with the rest of us with respect to it. Let us make that plain. Senator Nye. Mr. Lloyd, you feel that the effort being made is one against restricted immigration, do you not? Mr. Lroyp. Which do vou mean to say, postponement of national origins? Senator NYE. To postpone? Mr. Lroyp. Yes, sir. Senator NYE. However, you do concede that there are those who are seeking postponement of the national origins clause who are believers in restricted immigration ? Mr. Lroyp. Yes, sir. Senator Rep. And it is they who you think to be mistaken? _ Mr. Lroyp. Yes, sir; they are the victims of misunderstandings. This is a question in which there has been a great deal of misrepresen- tation for two years or more. Senator Reep. Mr. Lloyd, when you said that you thought the 1890 basis was unfair, you said you thought it was unfair for two reasons, and you gave us only one. Mr. Lroyn. Oh, ves.
