This bill provides for executing the provisions of this.new treaty. The treaty itself is somewhat comprehensive. It goes somewhat into details as to what shall be done respecting the prohibition of Chinese immigration into this country. It provides a method of identifying those that shall depart from the United States. a method of identification which it is claimed will be more effective than the existing one. and will amount to something in the way of preventing the coming in of those who are not entitled to come. The present law and the present treaty. by reason of inherent defects. do not prevent Chinese immigration. On the contrary. the Chinese are now coming to the Pacific coast and particularly to San Francisco. in greater numbers than they came before the existence of the present law or the present treaty.
