I was about to coane to thai. With regard to these localities. however. under the treaty I have no doubt of the competency of Congress to legislate. because it is so expressly declared in the article that I have read. not that this migration shall beheld to he detrimentalto the interests of the entire country. but that if it is interfering with or prejudicial to the good order or the welfare and advancement of any particular locality. then Congress toay provide for the suspension or limitation of Chinese immigration. Therefore. .Mr. President. in my mind the only question is whether or not the terms of this bill are reasonable and just in accordauce with the stipulations made solemnly and entered into between these high contracting parties. and I must say that upou two or three points Ithink they are not. I am aware that the Senator from California desires to obtain a vote this afternoon. and therefore I shall not make any protracted remarks.
