NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 161 year 1890, are to be adjusted so as to conform to the officially estimated number of persons now in the country of each national origin, either by birth or descent. We believe that this permanent basis for fixing the quotas, already provided for by law, is sound in principle and fair to all elements in the population. Only by this method can that large proportion of our population which is descended from the colonists and other early settlers; as well as the menibers of the newer immigration, have their proper racial representation in the quotas. We believe that Congress wisely concluded that only by such a system of proportional representation in our future immigration could the racial status quo of the country be maintained or a reasonable degree of homogeneity secured. Without such basic homegeneity, we firmly believe, no civilization can have its best development. Princeton University: E. G. Conklin, professor of biology; Ulrie Dahlgren, professor of biology; L.
