NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 9 
Mr. Boges. On which basis? 
Senator Rerp. The ratio of present quota to the present popula- 
tion. 
Mr. Boggs. In the present quota— 
Senator Reep. I am speaking now of 1890. 
Mr. Boees. In the present quota—now the 1890 foreign-born 
basis—there are 9,609 in the quota of the Irish Free State for each 
million in the population, which means approximately 1 in the quota 
for every 104 of the population of the country. 
Senator Rep. About 1 per cent? 
Mr. Boggs. About 1 per cent. For Great Britain at the present 
time it is 752 per million. 
Senator Reep. That is, the Irishman has about twelve times as 
much chance of getting into America as the Englishman has. 
Mr. Boges. Almost thirteen. 
Senator Riep. Thirteen times as good a chance? How is it in 
regard to Sweden ? 
Mr. Bocas. For Sweden it is 1.579 per million, which is about one- 
sixth of 1 per cent. 
Senator Rep. Norway? 
Mr. Bocas. Two thousand four hundred and thirty-five, or about 
one-fourth of 1 per cent. 
Senator Reep. Germany ? 
Mr. Boggs. For Germany, 812, or about one-twelfth of 1 per cent. 
Senator Reep. Will you put the entire table in the record, Mr. 
Boggs, please? 
Mr. Boags. Yes, sir. 
Senator Rep. So that we need not ask you to tell us orally. 
(The statement referred to will be found later in the record of 
to-day, on the margin of the maps, inserted with other data sub- 
mitted by Mr. Boggs.) 
Senator Rep. Now, under the national-origins basis, what is the 
picture? 
Mr. Boaes. The largest is still the Irish Free State, namely, ap- 
proximately 5,900 per million, or more than one-half of 1 per cent. 
The next largest is that of Great Britain, which is 1,457, or ap- 
proximately one-fourth that of the Irish Free State. 
Senator Rerp. The Irishman will still, under the national origins, 
have five times as much chance of getting into the United States as 
the Englishman, 
Mr. Bocas. Four times. 
Senator Reep. Four times? 
Mr. BoeGs. Approximately; yes, sic. The next largest is that of 
Norway, which 1s 907 per million population, or about one-eleventh 
of 1 per cent. 
Sweden is 561. 
Then, following that, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany. 
Senator CopeLaxp. How do Norway and Sweden compare with 
Ireland and Great Britain in their admissions? 
Mr. Bocas. You mean in the present quotas, or national-origins 
quotas ? 
Senator Coprranp. National origins.
