NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 11 
Mr. Boaas. Yes, sir. 
Senator Harrrs. Now, as to Germany, how would those figures be? 
Mr. Bocas. At the present time the German quota per million is a 
little larger than that of Great Britain, or about 812 compared to 
752. Under the national origins the ratio is 395 to 1.457, as reported 
last year. 
Senator Corer.anp. What does that mean in figures? 
Mr. Boces. It means for a person in Germany, at the present time, 
a slightly greater chance; and under the national origins the chance 
would be between one-third and one-fourth that of a person in Great 
Britain, 
Senator CoruLaxp. That is to say, under the present law the 
German has the same chance to enter the country as the Englishman 
has; is that true? 
Mr. Boees. Yes, sir; or a little better than the Englishman. 
Senator CorerLand. A little better than or at least equal to it? 
Mr. Boges. Yes, sir. 
Senator CopeLaxp. And under the national-origins provision his 
prospect of admission would be what? 
Mr. Boees. Between one-third and one-fourth as great as the 
Englishman would have. 
Senator Corperaxp. He has an equal chance now, and under the 
py plan he would have only one-fourth the chance the Englishman 
has? 
Mr. Boaes. Approximately, that is true—somewhat better than 
one-fourth the chance that the Englishman would have. 
Senator Harris. What are the ficures for Mexico under the na- 
‘ional origins? 
Mr. Bocas. There are none; there is no quota. 
Senator Harris. I thought you could give an estimate of what 
would come in under the national origins. 
Mr. Bocas. There is no quota whatever from Mexico under either 
system. 
Senator Harris. I understand; but if there was a quota? 
gator Nye (interposing). You have not given any study to 
tha 
Mr. Bocas. No; not any appreciable study. I have used the fig- 
ures somewhat, of course. But the schemes that have been pro- 
posed have been different and there was nothing to apply it to. 
Senator Corrraxp. Mr. Boggs, will you give us two more quotas, 
Italy and Poland? Under the present law what is the relationship 
nf the Poland immigration to the English? 
Mr. Boggs. The Italian has an opportunity at the present time 
nne-eighth of that of the person from Great Britain. 
Senator CoPELAND. And under the new law, what would it be? 
Mr. Bocas. Approximately one-tenth. 
Senator CoreLanp. What about Poland ? 
Mr, Bocas. At the present time a little more than one-fourth that 
of Great Britain, and under the national origins it would be ap- 
proximately one-sixth that of great Britain in proportion to the 
population. 
Senator Coperaxp. At the present time it is practically one- 
fourth 2
