Mr. Speaker. I trust this bill will pass without objection. We have suffered and are suffering agreat deal on the Pacific coast from Chinese immigration. I will not enter into details in this matter. . The question has been so thoroughly discussed by the press and in Congress that the country thoroughly understands the situation. After years of patient waiting the appeals of the people of the Pacific coast were considered and legislation looking to their relief was inaugurated in 1882. The bill then desired by the Pacific coast was passed by both Houses of Congress. but was vetoed by President Arthur.
