solution to the challenge of
helping the worlds poverty
stricken peoples.
The prelates also present a
list of 10 questions which
they suggest should be used
as a means of measuring
us. efforts in aiding migra-
ton.
STATING THAT 1T is the
right of human beings to
have access to the resources
of the earth created by God
for the good of man." the
NCWC administrative board
comments:
I'm the present order Of
things, it is necessary for ma
tions to make laws to insure
the use of these resources
in a reasonable and orderly
fashion, but the tenor of the
law should be such as to
facilitate, not impede, access
TO them"
The archbishops and bish-
ops caution, however, that
migration cannot be the only
solution, nor the best answer,
for the problem of poverty
in overcrowded countries.

migrants. the prelates state:
Accordingly, the nations
of the world, especially those
that are prosperous, should
unite in effective long-range
programs designed to raise
productivity and thus make
such nations as self-support-
ing as possible"
THE kcWc BOARD touches
upon us. immigration law
and-though not mentioning
it by name-apparently has
reference to the 1852 Immi-
grafton and Nationality Act,
known commonly as the Nc.
Carran-Walt Act.

Of helping others in need,
the prelates charge that us.
immigration law contain S
"prejudicial elements" in its
provisions for token quotas
for Orientals" and in its ma
tional-origins clause.
The national-origins clause
assigns a yearly quota to
countries other than the in
dependent nations Of the
Western Hemisphere.
THE QUOTA FOR EACH
COUNTRY is calculated at
one-sixth of one per cent of
the number Of persons of
that particular national ORR
gin who were living in the
United States at the time OF
the 1920 census.
THE RESULT Of this clause
has been that the quota for
some countries is filled for
periods as far ahead as 10
years.
The archbishops and bish-
ops also question the total
number OF immigrants admit
ted under this quota sys-
tenn.
Asking if it is not TOO low,
they say that considering the
nations economic strength,
'even doubling the present
effective quota immigrant
level would be an insignifi-
cant factor in adding to our
