NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 161
year 1890, are to be adjusted so as to conform to the officially estimated
number of persons now in the country of each national origin, either by
birth or descent. We believe that this permanent basis for fixing the quotas,
already provided for by law, is sound in principle and fair to all elements
in the population. Only by this method can that large proportion of our
population which is descended from the colonists and other early settlers;
as well as the menibers of the newer immigration, have their proper racial
representation in the quotas. We believe that Congress wisely concluded
that only by such a system of proportional representation in our future
immigration could the racial status quo of the country be maintained or a
reasonable degree of homogeneity secured. Without such basic homegeneity,
we firmly believe, no civilization can have its best development.
