52 NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW that any of these census dates involved estimations, and he has since testified before your committee that in connection with these esti- mates they took a very much more arbitrary method of apportioning the census estimates than had been taken in connection with the national-origins data; that they were compelled to do so. The CrarrmMaN. Do you wish that table put in the record? Senator Reep. I think that ought to go in the record. The CrameuMaN. Very well; let it be inserted at this point. {The table referred to is as follows:) Comparative statement of estimated quotas on 2 per cent of census of 1890 and present quotas AIDA. oe oo eee emmmemeecmecmam annem een BPTTIOTUI : mmm oii bo i in im mt BA BUIEETIIN oe SE 0 a STORRS, BERL ZIUUTIN «mr em 0 0 0 Czechoslovakia... «occrammrmmnamaceaaaaaa SE DARE. wn wm RE ————— DONIMAIK co oo eo emmemiemcmmmmns mmmecammanee ESE OMIA cn cece cc amma mamamamm amen AMADA — ee eee emma mmm mmm Ji 1051 TA, orm mm mee SERRE France... ......- a ms en FRY FOPIANY « — oo cnoceazmmamm mma sm memmamm mmm mmnmmm ens Great Britain and North Ireland... ocooocemanmamenmann Tish Free State. coo oveuacocoammmmmmmonmm mem mmmoon TROD wiv sii irc mr wn mie ROR.

Mr. Trevor. You are aware, Mr. Chairman and Senators, that the apportionment has been attacked in various ways. As I say, none of us who advocate the national-origins provision are the proponents of any especial racial group, and, as I have already said, accept absolutely without question the findings of the extremely scientific work done by the census’ authorities, and with the cooperation of the American Council of Learned Societies, of which some members were not at all inclined to be favorable to this proposition. But they have worked out substantially what nga ioniily is an accurate analysis. I say that with some emphasis, because I devoted some four years since the passage of the act to a verification on my own part of the findings on this question. I do not want to advance my own views, but merely say I have not just studied this thing for a day.
