Chairman. so much has been said this afternoon on the provisions of the bill now under consideration that I do not feel it to be necessary to occupy much of the time or the attention of the committee. The greater portion of this bill. in fact all of it but one section. has been in issue in this House before. Two years ago a law was enacted by the Fortyseventh Congress which limited Chinese immigration to this country for a period of ten years. It was first for a period of twenty years. The issue was made not is a party* one. but upon the same state of facts which has been brought to the attention of this committee today.
