14 16 NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW another year, with the confusion we have been having for the past two years, or attempt to force action at the present time in putting the national origins into operation. That is what I desire light apon. hr. Bocas. The only thing I can say there is that the results are lai practically as good as they can be made, and it is for Congress to '¢ determine whether they shall be utilized. Le The CraRMAN. As a policy, that is so? Mr. Boggs. Certainly. The Crmamrma~. And you say the results at the present time are quite as good as they can be made? Mr. Boces. As we will report them very shortly. The Cramrman. When will you have your report ready? Mr. Boses. I should say during the present Congress certainly, and I do not know how much sooner. Sor The CuamrmaxN. “During the present Congress” would be about Ce three or four weeks more. Mr. Bocas. It can be done in less time than that, I think. The Crmarrman. Are there any further questions of Mr. Boggs? Senator Rep. I think, if Mr. Boggs does not mind giving it, I would like to have his personal opinion on this: Which is the more accurate method of dividing these quotas? I am not asking you for the opinion of the Department of State or the quota board’s opinion, but your personal opinion. Mr. Boges. I would rather confine myself to the facts and the adequacy of the facts, sir. I am not concerned—— Senator Reep. We are very much concerned. The Cmairman. I think that is a very wise conclusion on the part >f Mr. Boggs. Senator Rrrp. There is nobody in the United States who has studied it more, and if he has any personal opinion I think the com- mittee would be impressed by it. Mr. Boees. If I may, I would rather not attempt to pass on the question. The Cuarman. By the way, in the computations you have made , is there such a thing as differential of fecundity? if Mr. Bocas. That is something I would rather leave for Doctor Pu Hill to answer, if I may. I do not wish to dodge anything, but, you see, there have been two distinct phases of the study—the cen- sus statistics, and then the geographical adjustment, and my task was confined wholly to the geographical adjustment and to studying whether the material for that purpose was sufficient. The Cratrman. But you did agree to the report, did you not. that L was submitted ? cel Mr. Boees. Yes, sir. The CramrMAN. Do you know whether that report included such differential of fecundity ? Mr. Boaes. As reported last year, indirectly it did. The Cmarrman. All right, sir; then, I will ask Doctor Hill about. ' that, unless some of you gentlemen wish to ask further questions. me Senator Nye. All of these facts and details you have given us ma this morning are the property of one nation pretty well known by abe the members of that commission, including the Secretary of State. all B: wl NL
