NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 95 have been very interesting and important witnesses upon the other side of the problem. Is, I submit to you, there any good purpose served by multiplying the views of the many who have come before us and presented their side? Personally, so far as I am concerned, the hearings could be concluded now. I am perfectly willing to await the pleasure of the committee and to do whatever the commit- tee may wish to do with respect to the matter. Senator King. I suggest, Mr. Chairman, that the opponents of the resolution select from their number here those that can give some in- formation. Mr. Lewis has made a scientific study of this matter. A mere expression of opinion or views in a general way on this gives no light on the matter. Senator Brease. Do you not think, Mr. Chairman, if anybody here has got anything against the resolution they should be invited to speak ? Phe CrAmRMAN. I have asked that twice, Senator. Senator Brrase. What is the use to keep on adding up testimony? Why not hear somebody that can show us some reason why we should not pass this resolution? Senator Rep. You mean the other way around, Senator? The Caamman. You mean this—— Senator Breas. I mean this: I am not in favor of the resolution. The CHAIRMAN. Yes. Senator Brease. If there is somebody that can show me why I ought to be, he is the one I want to hear. Th) Craimaras. I said that on the other occasion and this occasion as well. Senator Breas. I am ready to vote on it, so far as I am concerned. The Cmamman. As I said, there has been only one gentleman ap- peared here in behalf of the resolution. Senator Nye, unfortunately, is sick abed. It is all a question whether you want to hear cumu- lative evidence on the proposition in opposition. Senator Reep. Is there anyone here who desires to be heard in be- half of Senator’s Nye’s resolution? The Cuairman. That has been asked. Mr. Mowrrz. Following the suggestion of the chairman, I desire to appear in behalf of the resolution. My name is Mowitz. I came down here to-day—— The CHAIRMAN. You favor the resolution? Mr. Mowrrz. I am in favor of the resolution. The Cmarrman. I would be glad to hear from you, sir—because those who favor the resolution have not appeared—and present your views on the question on the other side. But if you will go ahead and express your views, then the gentlemen on the other side will have opportunity, if they desire. to rebut. STATEMENT OF ARNO P, MOWITZ, REPRESENTING THE GERMAN SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA FOR THE RELIEF OF DISTRESS AMONG GERMAN IMMIGRANTS. PHILADELPHIA PA. Senator Kine. Where do you live in Philadelphia? Mr. Mowrrz. I practice law in Philadelphia and, like the Chica- coans, I live outside of Philadelphia, in the suburbs.
