In the case which the Senator cites I suppose Great Britain never admitted that she had violated the treaty. In this case the Chinese Government says we violated the treaty. and we admit that we violated the treaty. The Chinese Government says that she will not receive a United States minister duly appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate. on account of words spoken in debate upon this floor. but that she will receive him if we will repeal the law. The Senator asks me if that destroys the treaty. I say no. it does not destroy the treaty. but it shows such a condition of in. tercoumse between this Government and China as justifies us in putting upon the statute book concerning Chinese immigration any law that the interests of our people require.
