NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1929 Unirep STATES SENATE, CoMMmITIEE ON IMMIGRATION, Washington, D. OC. The committee met, pursuant to adjournment, at 10.30 o’clock a. m., in the room of the Committee on Military Affairs, Capitol, Hon. Hiram W. Johnsen (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Johnson, Keyes, Reed, Gould, Harris, and Copeland. The Caammman. The committee will please be in order. I have just received a telegram from Arno P. Mowitz, who testified on last Saturday before this committee, and I will ask the reporter to insert. his telegram in the record. (The telegram referred to is as follows:) PHILADELPHIA, PA., February 11. 1929. Senator HIRAM W. JOHNSON, Ohairman Immigration Committee, United States Senate, Washington, D. C.: May I add the thought that postponement and the creation of fact-finding :ommission of experts, possibly including men representative of major strains, would serve to dispose of national-origins controversy? Arxo P. MOwITZ, Guarantee Trust Building, Philadelphia. Senator Reed, will you suggest the next witness you desire to 2all, please? Senator Reep. Are there any witnesses here in opposition to the national-origins clause? If not, Mr. Lloyd, we will be glad to hear from you as to who you have next. Mr. Lroyp. Mr. Chairman, we have several witnesses. But before we start, if I may, remembering that sometimes a few words of mis- anderstanding require a great many in order to get things straight, { would like to read one or two quotations bearing on the testimony of Mr. Mowitz, the last witness, who brought out, as I remember it, that he did not know very much about quotas, or what they should be, but made most of his statement on the strength of belief that large numbers of other people were opposed to national origins. {find on investigation that in a good many of those cases he was either mistaken from the beginning, or at least not up to date; and the first thing I want to do 1s read quotations in regard to Pro- fessor Garis. He stated that Prof. Roy S. Garis was in favor of the 1890 basis and against national origins. Senator Reep. It was Professor Garis’s basis that caused its adoption, was it not? EK/RH—20_. 8K 0
