152 NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW STATEMENT OF FRANCES H. KIN NICUTT, IMMIGRATION RESTRIC- TION LEAGUE, AND ALLIED PATRIOTIC SOCIETY, NEW YORK CITY Mr. Kinnrcurr. Yes, Mr. Chairman, I will accept that; and I just want permission to state whom I represent, and to ask for the inser- tion of certain exhibits. The Cramrman. Please state it, if you will. i Mr. Kinnicurr. I represent the Immigration Restriction League (Inc.), organized in 1908, and also the Allied Patriotic Societies of New York, which comprise about 40 patriotic societies. I ask permission to insert in the record the resolution from each in opposition to the Nye resolution. The Cramman. Granted. Mr. Kixyicurr. I also ask to insert translation of an article that appeared in the Frankfurter Staats-Zietung July 17, 1927, when this question first arose. The Cramrmax. If there is no objection, it will be so ordered. Mr. Kixxtovrr. I want the committee to know the gist of that in a few words, that the German Ambassador, Baron von Maltzahn, who was killed in an aeroplane disaster shortly afterwards, said in a public speech at Bremerhaven, Germany, on July 16, 1927, that the German-Americans in the United States were to be thanked for the postponement of the national-origins provision. The Cmamrnman. I think that was introduced by Senator Reed, so he will accept that. , . Mr. Kinnicurr. I was not aware he had done so. The other ex- hibits are simply tables showing how those discriminations work out. The CrairmaN. Now, if you will arrange with the reporter for the insertion of such matter as you may leave with him, this committee will close its public hearing and determine what is going to be done with the resolution. (Mr. Kinnicutt’s supplemental statement and exhibits referred to above are as follows:) I appear as the representative, primarily, of the Immigration Re- striction League (Inc.), and also of the Allied Patriotic Societies (Inc.). The parent body of the Immigration Restriction League (Inc.) was established as far back as 1908, and it is incorporated under the laws of New York. It has branches in Brooklyn and in Essex and Hudson Counties, N. J., with a total membership of dues- paying members of about 20,000 American citizens. The league has been actively engaged in the cause of immigration restriction during the past 20 years of .its existence, and was a strong supporter of the legislation embodied in the present immigration act of 1924. The Allied Patriotic Societies (Inc.) consist of a group of about 40 patriotic societies and organizations, some national, others con- fining their activities to the State of New York. A list of these societies appears in a letter recently addressed to the chairman of this committee opposing the resolution of Senator Nye, which seeks to postpone for a third time the putting into effect of the national origins quotas basis under the immigration act of 1924. I ask your consent to have that letter, a short one, incorporated in the record.
