testified before your committee that in connection with these esti- 
mates they took a very much more arbitrary method of apportioning 
the census estimates than had been taken in connection with the 
national-origins data; that they were compelled to do so. 
The CrarrmMaN. Do you wish that table put in the record? 
Senator Reep. I think that ought to go in the record. 
The CrameuMaN. Very well; let it be inserted at this point.

Mr. Trevor. You are aware, Mr. Chairman and Senators, that the 
apportionment has been attacked in various ways. As I say, none 
of us who advocate the national-origins provision are the proponents 
of any especial racial group, and, as I have already said, accept 
absolutely without question the findings of the extremely scientific 
work done by the census’ authorities, and with the cooperation of the 
American Council of Learned Societies, of which some members were 
not at all inclined to be favorable to this proposition. But they have 
worked out substantially what nga ioniily is an accurate analysis. 
I say that with some emphasis, because I devoted some four years 
since the passage of the act to a verification on my own part of the 
findings on this question. I do not want to advance my own views, 
but merely say I have not just studied this thing for a day.
