President. I approach this discussion with reluctance.conscious of the fact that there exists a sentiment among worthy citizens who. having little or no practical knowledge of this subject. are opposed to their exclusion. and as in past Congresses. this question has been very ably discussed. I can hope to add but little for your consideration . and. therefore. should have remained silent. but for the fact that I represent. in part. a constituency who have suffered from the evils of Mongolian immigration for over a third of a century. and who have learned by bitter experience the great economic and moral objections to the incoming of this people. This question is political. social. and economic. It is a question of civilization. and we of the Pacific coast would preserve ours. the Western type. and not submit to the Eastern.
