NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 21 
Doctor Hin. Yes. 
Senator Reep. The countries of the northern Balkans, and that 
would be Bulgaria and Yugoslavia? 
Doctor Hire. Yes; but as applied to those countries not affected 
by the war I should say that the national-origin plan would not be 
more accurate. 
Senator Nye. Would it be as accurate, Doctor ? 
Doctor Hirir. In some cases it would not, I am inclined to think. 
Senator Nye. What percentage, now, of the peoples involved in 
this immigration law would be involved in any geographical changes 
coming as a result of the war? 
Doctor Hirr. I think perhaps Mr. Boggs can speak on that better 
than I can. I did not work over those geographical features. 
Mr. Boggs. What. was the question? 
Senator Nye. We have a given number coming into our country 
ander the immigration laws. What percentage of them would be 
affected as the result of the geographical changes resulting from the 
war ¢ 
Mr. Boges. I do not quite understand. 
Senator Nye. What is our total immigration 
Senator Reep. One hundred and sixty-four thousand total. 
Senator Nye. What percentage of those coming from territory 
which has been in any way changed as the result of the war? 
Mr. Boaes. About 43 per cent. And the changes, if I may go on, 
have affected about 141% or 15 per cent; by that I mean that when 
we add together the numbers which have to be attributed to a quota 
country which differs in name from the census entry from which it 
is derived, the total amounts to approximately 1414 per cent of the 
total of the present quotas. 
The Crairman. Are there any further questions that are desired to 
be propounded of Doctor Hill? 
Senator Reep. I would like to consider that last statement by 
Mr. Boggs. All of the people from Germany are affected to some 
extent by the determination of the German area and the quotas 
between the present Germany and the pre-war (Germany. That is 
51,000 people, is it not ? 
Mr. Boggs. Yes, sir. 
Senator Reep. All the people of the Irish Free State quota are 
affected by the geographical changes that have taken place there, 
are they not? 
Mr. Bocas. Yes, 
Senator Reep. That is 28,000 more? 
Mr. Boges. Yes, sir. 
Senator Reep. All the people in Poland are affected similarly; 
that is nearly 6,000 more, is it not 
Mr. Boaes. Yes. May I add, you can not as easily dispose of it 
that way as you can to take the 1890 census of the foreign born from 
Austria-Hungary (including the figures for “ Bohemia ”), Germany, 
Russia (including the figures for “Poland ”), Bulgaria, and 
Turkey, and add them together and compute the percentage of 
the total number of foreign born from European countries in 1890. 
Senator Rump. That is true. But the question asked you is, what 
proportion of the people in the present quotas are affected bv these
