I deem it my solemn duty to express my conviction that if it shall be decided that the policy of free. unrestricted immigration of Chinese is right and must be maintained. the Government should be prepared to maintain it by force and to overawe a community which on this subject is rife with dangerous discontent. It maybe that it is wrong that it is so. doubtless many ot you believe it to be grievously wrong. but you are entitledto know the truth. however it may influence your opinions or action.
