Chairman. I have no desire to detain the commnittee to submit more than a single expression on this question. During the last Congress the act prohibiting cooly immigration to this country was discussed in all its bearings. and the Congress of the United States by the law then enacted settled the policy of this Government with reference to this subject. The bill under consideration does not in any sense change that policy. nor does it in my jndgment in any sense contravene the treaty between this Government and the Chinese Empire. Under that treaty we have been given the power to exclude a certain class of Chinese.
