In answering the gentleman from Pennsylvania in the humane spirit he asks his question. I say. if I were myself convinced that the Chinese who will be interdicted in the event of the positive enforcement of the exclusion act would take advantage of this provision. if that class of people sincerely desired or asked for the extension and assuredusthat they would obey the law and not deceive us as they have done heretofore. I for one would feel warranted in voting for the passage of this bill extending the time. But. representing as I do 9.4U0 Chinese residing in my State. I say to the House and to the country that not a single one has requested me to vote for this measure for any reason. humane or otherwise. to give them this additional privilege and right.
