Senator Reed, who is advocating re- tention of the national origins basis, in opposition to President: Hoover, de clared the Chamber of Commerce com- mittee’s report is “based, based on a false premise, and unsound in its con- clusions.” Quotation From Report. The committee's report, indorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, declared t seems relatively unimpomtant | whethér the desired result is arrived at by the 1890 census plan, basing quotas on foreign born residing here, or by the national origins law, counting not only the foreign born, but the native whites living here in 1920.” _ “Never in my contact with this ques- tino,” wrote Senator Reed to President Butterworth, “have I seen so superficial and unsound a statement by any one purporting to have %y knowledge of imigration, or to have made a study Such as that in which your. committee has been engaged.

That established a new level of values. Mr. Morrow has, by local standards, spent amazingly. He has built what is probably the most imposing place on the island, tearing down an old farmhouse to erect a big gray-shingled Colonial house, with its broad side facing the sea to the west.
