Now. Mr. President. here is a proof. if words cast prove anything. that there was a concession deliberately made by the Chinese Government and its commissioners that the regulation. the power to control under this treaty. the limitation or suspension of emigration were vested without conditions. and solely in the discretion of the Governirent of the United States. That is a clear. admitted fiet. Then it follows. that when the Chinee were asked what their interpretation of discretion as to limitation as to numbers was. they stated that in their view. it would be reasonable and proper for the United States to declare. that no more Chinese laborers should ever be in the United States than were here It the time the treaty was made.
