We had better never seea Chinese diplomate here than to permit this country and its civilization to be overrun by the yellow hordes of the Chinese Empire. and have the peculiar and paralyzing barbarisms of Asia transplanted in American soil. Better never see a Chinese diplomate than to have the labor of this country brought into direct competition with that of Asiatic serfs. Now. Mr. President. I think we have found out about what section 4 means. and that has been what I am after: to find out just what section 4 means as proposed by the committee. I next wish to call attention to another section proposed by the committee. and that is section 6.
