A message recently sent to
a group of voluntary agencies
meeting in New York indi-
Gates that President Kennedy
is laboring under the spell OF
the myth which has been
propagated by certain critics
of our immigration law and
policy.
In essence, the few re-
naming critics Of our inn
migration law contend that
it is unfairly discriminatory
in favor of the countries with
the largest immigration
quotas, and against the
small-quota countries, not
withstanding the fact that
the quotas of all countries
are computed upon the basis
Of an identic mathematical
formula. If different mathe-
matical formulas were used
in determining the quotas for
different countries that would
indeed be unfairly discrim-
inatory.
If the fact that some coun-
tries have larger, or smaller.
quotas than others under our
quota system constitutes un-
fair discrimination, every
reasonable person must agree
that any quota system that
could be devised would also
be unfairly discriminatory, as
it is obvious that under any
quota system some countries
will have larger, or smaller,
quotas than others. The only
way to avoid this would be
to allocate to each and every
country of the world a quota
numerically the same size, an
expedient that no one adj
vocates.
Some people may be sur
prised to learn that our inn
migration quotas are not, and
never were, based upon the
people of foreign countries.
Our first two quota systems
were based upon the foreign
born residents Of the United
States, first according to the
Census of 1910 and later ac-
cording to the Census of 1890.
Neither system was satisfac-
tory and in 1924 Congress

people in our various foreign
national origins groups as a
basis for a redetermination
of quotas. But If, as it seems
likely, this would result in a
greater volume of immigra-
ton from the small-quota
countries while the large
quotas are not being filled,
it would raise the practical
question of whether such an
increased volume of quota
immigration could readily be
absorbed into our present
population, while we have an
abnormal unemployment sit
uation in the United States
involving numerous dis
tresSed areas. In considering
the possible use of the 1860
census Congress would be
obliged to consider at the
same time the desirability of
changing the identic mathe-
matical formula from the
present one-sixth of one per-
cent to one-eighth or one
tenth, or some other fraction,
of one per cent, in order to
keep quota immigration
within reasonable limits in
the light of the economic
conditions prevailing in the
United States.
In considering the annual
volume of immigration into
the United States most peo-
pie are inclined to confine
their attention to the num-
ber of quota immigrants we
receive annually. Few people
seem to realize that under
our existing law the annual
volume of nonquota immi-
grafton exceeds that Of quota
immigration. During the last
fiscal year we received a to-
tai Of 265,398 immigrants,
101,373 being quota immi-
grants and 164,025 were nom
quota. During the last eight
years since the present lay
became effective we have re-
ceived l,048.l76 quota inni-
grants and l,293,066 nom
quota immigrants. or a total
Of 2,341.242 immigrants dur
ing that period.

THE PASSING SCENE
Textile Industry Needs innovation
BY RALPH McGHL

as the days Of the New From
tier unfold. We begin to un-
derstand, as events develop,
that we do, indeed, have new
frontiers which are dictated
by need. They are not at all
Pigments of political oratory.
They exist. The United States
faces an increasing need to
sell its goods in the world
market. This cannot be done
with a shoeshine and a smile
in international sales any
more than Arthur Miller's
Willie Lowman could do it
in his territory.
Must Raise Exports
It is important that we
learn there are new frontiers
and that some are created by
emergencies and increased
production by foreign nations
whose work week and wages
are what our own were so
years ago when we and the
industrial revolution were
younger.
Because Of it's adverse bal
ance of payments" a rather
solemn Secretary Of Com
merce told the cotton manu-
facturers, "the United States
today needs most urgently to
maintain and improve its
present favorable balance Of
trade. To do this we must
raise our exports, not our tar
ifs and quota walls"
The Secretary noted the
competition of textile i'm
ports, but he refused to leave
this as the sole explanation.
He called attention to the in
creased competition from
paper and plastics. Paper
producers today are confident
they have the new, cheap.
revolutionary fiber which will
capture a much larger share
of the textile market.
Mr.. Greenewalt. in exhort-
ing his stockholders, called
attention to "sizable expendi-
lures" for research. An "ac-
rylic staple" is merely one
item on his list. That some
of the more expensive shirt
ings already are a mixture Of
synthetic and silk has hardly
been noted. When paper
shirts, which will Withstand
20 to 80 launderings, come
along in three or four years,
or less, they may cause
hardly a stir because of even
newer innovations.
Adjusting the economy to
change-if there is no war
will require much innovation
and not merely in new tech
niques and products.

Ordinarily one does not
find the annual report Of the
Du Pont Co. and speeches to
cotton manufacturers by Sec
retaries Of Commerce of COM
pelling interest.
But, in part because these
are the days of the New
Frontier, which might be
translated as days of new
national needs, the 1860 mes
sage to his stockholders by
President Crawford H.
Greenewalt and Commerce
Secretary Luther Hodges ad-
dress to delegates of the
American Cotton Manufac-
turers Institute in recent
convention, provide trenchant
texts.
Mr.. Greenewalt informed
shareholders that "increas-
ing industrial competition
emphasizes the great need to-
day for innovation Gre
ative research has never been
more important"
Mr.. Hodges found the cot
ton manufacturers unhappy
in mood. It is doubtful If he
left them cheered in any ap-
preciable degree. Rarely has
any industry been talked to
so honestly and candidly by
a cabinet member. One won-
dered if he had read Mr..
Greenewalt's report.
The Secretary pledged all
possible help by the admins
tration. But the textile prob
lem, he said, cannot be set
tied in a vacuum or without
regard to other interests.
Creative Research Needed
He reminded them that
roughly one-fourth of the
textile machines in use in
the United States were in
stalled 20 years or more ago.
The Secretary said this means
your competition abroad is
generally in better shape"
There is, he said, need for
much more creative research,
backed by the industry itself
especially in the area of new
uses which might recapture
the industrial market.
He admonished them that
unless the industry does mod
ernie and produce innova-
ton through research mo
body can really help you stay
in business and make q
profit" wrapped up in the
