Mr. President. when this matter was under discussion before in the Senate I gave my reasons why I could not vote for the bill as it was then presented to the Senate. because it was admitted that the Scott exclusion act. as it is called. was a violation of the treaty. because we were taunted with having voted for that act when it was a violation of the treaty. and because I did not wish by extending the provisions of that act for another ten years to violate the treaty again. That would be conclusive upon me as to what vote I should cast upon the report of this conference committee. But there are other thingrs in the report of the conference committee which I think would induce me to vote against it even if the original objection to the act were not sufficient.
