We thought we would emphasize the opini.n of the committee by the opinion of the Senate that the State Department should proceed as rapidly as possible to effect a new treaty to relieve us from the embarrassments in which we are now placed. Pending this negotiation. because a treaty with China is a very difficult and generally a long drawn out process. we have reported a bill. the sections of which are recommended by Judge Hoffman and by the Pacific coast delegation. which I believe will be unobjectionable when brought before the Senate. and the passage of which I will ask as soon as I can get an opportunity to call it up. In the mean time it was thought it would be right. supported by the State Department and the President. who no doubt are doing all they can in the right direction. to fortify them by the opinion of the Senate. and I think it is now becoming the general opinion of the country that it is better at once and for all to cut off all possibility of immigration of Chinese laborers into this country.
