Mr. President. there is no nation on the continent of Europe. however feeble. that we would ever have enacted this legislation against. however undesirable their laboring people as immigrants. Our conscience would not have permitted it. to say nothing of the fear of reprisal or retribution from the other nation. We have a general idea. unhappily too prevalent. that we need not deal with the Chinese upon the same footing of equal binding force and obligation. to say nothing of equality of right. that we deal with other people. Yet. Mr. President. wecan not imagine that a nation like China is going to rest forever quietly under these inflictions.
