NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION IAW SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1929 UNTrED STATES SENATE, CoMMITTEE ON InmicraTION, Washington, 1. C. The committee met, pursuant to adjournment, at 10 o’clock a. m., in the room of the Committee on Military Affairs, Capitol, Hon. Hiram W. Johnson (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Johnson, Keyes, Reed, Gould, King, Harris, Copeland, Blease, and Stephens. The Cramaan. This committee, now consisting of two members, will come to order; and I am going to say, for the sake of the record, unless more members attend these hearings I am going to summarily adjourn them this morning and conclude them.

But I am present this morning at the request of Judge Noyes, the representa- tive of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, to express the views of that order, in view of the fact that Judge Noyes him- self is ill and could not be here. This order has a membership in the United States of some 400,000 thousand. The views of the members venerally and of the officials of the Junior Order is that the na- tional-origins clause ought to become operative as is now provided that it should not be repealed or the operation of this provision of the law extended. They are very much of the opinion that in the determination of our future citizenship that recognition should be oiven to the blood which has built America and American institu- tions and which has defended America at all times, and not be based upon the quota of aliens which might be residing in this coun- 71
