Mr. President. the power that we are called upon to exercise under this bill is a very delicate one. as indeed is every power that Congress exercises in reference to the relations existing between this Government and foreign governments. The ill apparently draws a distinction in regard to the treatment by this Government of the Chinese and that of people of other countries. but that difference of treatment is only apparent at least when we consider the existing laws on the subject of foreigners and the naturalization of those foreigners. As to the particular facts that make it necessary to pass a bill of this character. I shall not discuss them at any length.
