Ex#HIisir 3 MEMORIAL OF PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES OPPOSED TO REPEALING THE NATION AL-ORIGINS PROVISION OF THE IMMIGRATION ACT The undersigned patroitic societies and organizations and individual citi- zens respectfully submit to the President of the United States, to the Senate and to the House of Representatives, the following memorial with regard to iegislation regulating immigration : We believe the present policy of restricting immigration to the United States ambodied in the immigration act of 1924 to be sound in principle, fair to all elements of our population, and necessary to the protection of the people of ‘he United States against excessive and unassimilable immigration from foreign rountries. We believe that, aside from the numerical limitation of quota immigration ‘0 a fixed number annually, the apportioning of the quotas in accordance with the national origins of our predent population is the most important part of che present law, because it gives a just representation to the older as well as rhe newer racial elsements of our population and to the descendants of the sarly settlers and founders of our country.
