Mr. Chairman. in the very brief time allotted to me. but seven minutes. I shall not attempt to discuss to any extent this vital question of Chinese immigration. But you will permit me to say that if there is any question before this House upon which the people of this nation have expressed their approbation it is this. Both of the great political parties in the last Presidential election embodied in their platforms a principle favoring the restriction of Chinese immigration. and upon those pledges and this principle was elected this Congress and this administration. The object of this amendment is simply to furnish the means to enforce the present restriction act. and the question is. are we willing to keep our pledges to the people? Mr.
