14 16 NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 
another year, with the confusion we have been having for the past 
two years, or attempt to force action at the present time in putting 
the national origins into operation. That is what I desire light 
apon. 
hr. Bocas. The only thing I can say there is that the results are 
lai practically as good as they can be made, and it is for Congress to 
'¢ determine whether they shall be utilized. 
Le The CraRMAN. As a policy, that is so? 
Mr. Boggs. Certainly. 
The Crmamrma~. And you say the results at the present time are 
quite as good as they can be made? 
Mr. Boces. As we will report them very shortly. 
The Cramrman. When will you have your report ready? 
Mr. Boses. I should say during the present Congress certainly, 
and I do not know how much sooner. 
Sor The CuamrmaxN. “During the present Congress” would be about 
Ce three or four weeks more. 
Mr. Bocas. It can be done in less time than that, I think. 
The Crmarrman. Are there any further questions of Mr. Boggs? 
Senator Rep. I think, if Mr. Boggs does not mind giving it, I 
would like to have his personal opinion on this: Which is the more 
accurate method of dividing these quotas? I am not asking you for 
the opinion of the Department of State or the quota board’s opinion, 
but your personal opinion. 
Mr. Boges. I would rather confine myself to the facts and the 
adequacy of the facts, sir. I am not concerned—— 
Senator Reep. We are very much concerned. 
The Cmairman. I think that is a very wise conclusion on the part 
>f Mr. Boggs. 
Senator Rrrp. There is nobody in the United States who has 
studied it more, and if he has any personal opinion I think the com- 
mittee would be impressed by it. 
Mr. Boees. If I may, I would rather not attempt to pass on the 
question. 
The Cuarman. By the way, in the computations you have made 
, is there such a thing as differential of fecundity? 
if Mr. Bocas. That is something I would rather leave for Doctor 
Pu Hill to answer, if I may. I do not wish to dodge anything, but, 
you see, there have been two distinct phases of the study—the cen- 
sus statistics, and then the geographical adjustment, and my task 
was confined wholly to the geographical adjustment and to studying 
whether the material for that purpose was sufficient. 
The Cratrman. But you did agree to the report, did you not. that 
L was submitted ? 
cel Mr. Boees. Yes, sir. 
The CramrMAN. Do you know whether that report included such 
differential of fecundity ? 
Mr. Boaes. As reported last year, indirectly it did. 
The Cmarrman. All right, sir; then, I will ask Doctor Hill about. 
' that, unless some of you gentlemen wish to ask further questions. 
me Senator Nye. All of these facts and details you have given us 
ma this morning are the property of one nation pretty well known by 
abe the members of that commission, including the Secretary of State.
