NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW 69
Cuicaco, Ir, February 5, 1929.
Senator DAVID A. REmp,
Washington, D. €C.:
Telegraphic advice from Senator Johnson, anent Committee on Military
Affairs meeting, received too late for me to attend. Recognizing the inadvisabil-
ity of further delay principally because of influx of Mexicans, I hope you will
do what you can to urge immediate action.

M. CONNOR,
Secretary of Senate Immigration Committee,
Washington, D. C.:
I offer your committee individual plea for operation of national origins called
for by immigration act as only plan suggested which insures to every eligible
resident citizen or alien native born or naturalized, proportional representation
in future blood current of our Nation. Claim that some foreign nation merits
farger quota than origin gives iy simply a demand on behalf that nation for
more than its blood current this country and contemplates corresponding loss to
other quota nations. Claim material inaccuracy seems untenable in view latest
data and Doctor Hill's explantion, but in any event it loses force because of
unavoidable inaccuracy in foreign-born quotas due to changes in map Europe.
To repeal national origins and substitute a foreign-born basis would be in my
judgment an injustice to every native-born citizen. And to further delay carry-
ing out plain provision of law in absence of better reason seems unjustified.
