NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 3 they have gone just about as far as they are capable of going; they have utilized all of the resources I think at their command. I do not believe from what I have learned of them, if I understand them correctly, that they will have much change to suggest over the quotas as they were submitted last year. Senator Rerp. So that from the standpoint of increased accuracy there would be no advantage in postponement for another year? Assistant Secretary Carr. That would be my impression; but I think you can get that more accurately from them. Senator Reep. Is Mr. Boggs here? Assistant Secretary Carr. Yes; Mr. Boggs is here. Senator Reep. I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, that we hear from him, then. The CuamrMAN. Very well. I would suggest, Mr. Secretary, that you wait a moment and we will hear from Mr. Boggs. Assistant Secretary Carr. Yes. sir. STATEMENT OF SAMUEL W. BOGGS, GEOGRAPHER, DEPARTMENT OF STATE The Cuamrman. Mr. Boggs, would you state your name, please, and your official station, so that the reporter may have it ¢ Mr. Bocas. Samuel W. Boggs, geographer of the Department of State. The Cuamrman. You have been engaged in that capacity how long, Mr. Boggs? Mr. Boges. Since October 1, 1924. The Cmamman. Have you any data with you in respect of the provision of the immigration law relating to national quotas? Mr. Boges. Yes, sir. Senator Harris. May I ask what experience you have had in this line before going with the State Department ? Mr. Boaes. My work has been principally that of map compilation and geographical research with various publishing firms in New York. For the last three years before coming to the Department of State I was in charge of the editorial and revision work on the maps of a world atlas, the maps having been lithographed and printed abroad. TI have been concerned principally with the geography of foreign countries for a period of 10 years or more. Senator Harrrs. During that time vou have used census reports a good deal, I suppose? Mr. Boegs. Particularly in the last four years, yes. Senator Harris. You found them accurate, according to vour idea ? Mr. Boges. The United States Census revorts? Senator Harris. Yes. Mr. Boggs. I have had no reason to doubt them, sir. Senator Nye. That is, as to the accuracy of all census figures dat- ing from the beginning of the census? Mr. Boggs. I would rather let Doctor Hill pass on that. Senator Harrrs. I did not mean to go so far; I meant on this particular subject. Mr. Boges. They seemed entirely consistent, so far as I have had occasion to use them. : Senator Harrrs. That is what I wanted to know. Thank you.
