For the present I think the bill should be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I have always voted in favor of bills torestrietChineseimmigration. and I desire to vote now for the most stringent measures on that subject. But I am not preparedto accept bills prepared by a Republican Senate on this subject. knowing that the Republican party. in view of its record. can not be trusted to prepare and enact into law measures which will effectively prevent Chinese immigration. I therefore insist upon the reference of the bill to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. and hope that committee will have leave to report at any timo. and that its report will be privileged over all other business.
