Mr. President. the Senate and the country mustexpeet that there is a welldefined dissatisfaction wits the existing conditions. The statistics which are published here in this report show that the average length of lime that a Chinese person resides in the United States is between three and five years. and this is based upon statistics which have been gathered and are of greater or leiser reliability. but if it was for five br ten ytars we should soon getrid of this horde of immigrants. provided this law was enforced. Believing myself that this law is beneficent. believing that it is the entering wedge which is going to open our eyes+making us more careful to sift the populations that we admitto the great priyileges of our industrial and political and social life. I insist that we shall have a different condition of affairs than that which has existed heretofore.
