NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 151 as you all know, there is going on a bloodless revolution. We have 0 the United States a tremendous increase in the use of machinery; we have an increase in mass production of all products. That great increase in the use of machinery is eliminating a large number of workers, and at the same time increasing the compensation of those who are retained in our great factory and manufacturing system. This is an economical question, gentlemen, more than racial or any- thing of that kind that is being so thoroughly and fairly discussed here before you. We desire to save America not for any race but for the children of those who are now and have been residing here under ‘his national origins, accepting immigrants from every race in the proportion in which they have already come here. Those people are more familiar with the conditions and circum- stances of America than those from any race; the assimilation of all of us, in accordance with this great mass production, the bloodless revolution, that is going on around us, is much better if we take those who are here with us, for whom we have all of us a kindly feeling rather than to bring in entire strangers. Now, this quota just restricts that and makes an attempt, crude perhaps, but it is an attempt. The attempt is to bring into our midst those who are here already, so as to carry on the great work of America. I wish to declaim personally and for the people I repre- sent any racial feeling of any kind whatsoever. As I said, I had the privilege of being on General Crowder’s Staff during the entire organization of our national army, and I can agsure you thatenone of these questions were ever brought up, and there was the most generous answer from all races to the demands that they should then help the country. Thank you very much. Senator Reep. Thank you very much, Major Blair. Mr. Kinnicutt is one of the authorities on this subject and has studied it for a lifetime. We have not time to hear him adequately. I should like to ask leave for him to file a statement of his views with the stenographer, to be embodied in the record. and to say a word also if he wants to. The CriarrMan. There is no objection to that. You may file your data and thev will be considered bv the committee, in due course. NEW York. February 15. 1929. THADDEUS RAGSDALE, Esq. Columbian Building, Washington, D. C. My DEAR MR. RaGsparr: There is a trifiing correction which I should like to have made in my testimony if there is still time. On page 9 of the typewritten copy I would like to strike out the words at the end of the fourth line and beginning of the fifth, “on the one hand and,” and in place thereof, substitute the words “ and those of,” so that the fourth line reads “ tutions and civilization of the United States and those of.” What is more important, however, is that I should like to put a heading on Exhibit No. 6, as follows: . . “ Principal discriminations caused by the 1890 foreign-born census basis.” [ would like this to go right at the top of the page. The exhibit is one of those on yellow paper, and may be identified by the exhibit number which X believe is on it now, No. 6, and by the fact that the first words appearing thereon on the left-hand upper corner are “1890 foreign-born uotas.” Hoping it is not too late to make these slight corrections, I am, Verv tralv vonrs. Franwcrs HH. KINNIQCUTT.
