Mr. Chairman. I have listened with great attention to what the gentlemen from California have said as to the need of new legislation to stop Chinese immigration. and so far I have failed to hear one of them say that there is any Chinese immigration coming to their State today. It is a bill which is entitled "to execute certain treaty stipulations. " and it departs flagrantly from the particular treaty upon which it professes to be based and violates a dozen others. The bill is unfortunate. On its face its very principle of exclusion and proscription is repugnant to an American. and iris for that reason I have listened the more attentively to hear if those gentlemen could at this time give to us some satisfactory reason or some urgent facts to justify us in again taking so revolting a dose as this House swallowed two years ago when the restriction bill was passed.
