I am just about to tell why not. This bill relates only to Chinamen who ha.e been here and have gone back to China. and have got certificates. This bill provides practically for the nulification of those ccrtificates. It does not embrace the great. broad question whether other Chinamen shall come to this country at all or not. While this bill was under discussion and these friends of ours from the Pacific coast were dealing in their trivialties about the passage of this bill I urged the Senator from Oregon to offer an amendment to it. providing that unless this treaty was ratified within a reasonable time this law itself should provide for the absolute exclusion of all Chinese immigrants.
