Speaker. let me read article 1 of the treaty: Whenever in the opinion of the Government of the United States the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States. or their residence therein. affects or threatens to affect the interests of that country. or to on danger the good order of the said country. or of any locality within the territory thereof. the Government of China agreesWe do not agree. in the very terms of this treaty China agreesthat the Government of the United States may regulate. limit. or suspenl such coming or residence. but may net absolutely prohibit it. Now. has that period arrived? Does this immigration affect or threaten to affect the interests of this country? Have we forgotten the ferment in 1876 in California? Have we forgotten the terrible XIU125 scenes of disorder in that section ?
