Do you believe. if the conditions were reversed and our citizens were in China instead of Chinese in the United States. we could be successfully appealed to to inhibit further enigration and consent to the passage of passport laws by which even those who were permitted to romiain should be hampered in their every movement front cue place to another ? Yet this China has done. With 100.000 of her people here. brought here by your own act. solicited to come in all your treaties. urged to emigrate. and yet been subjected to all these annoying and vexatious laws against them. China has acted more reasonaile. if not. as just to her own people as perhaps she should. than could be expected of any other. She has consented to suspend that imtinigrationtwhich you once sought. which you regarded its the highest effort of diploimatic skill. and to umodify her treaty to that end.
