But we have taken our stand. The supreme law of the land now is a law enacted by Congress and approved by the President. We have again recovered possession of this question of immigration from China. and and we stand in the same relation to the question of immigration from China as to the general question of immigration from other foreign countries. Why. then. should we surrender that position? Why should we give up. in relation to the Chinese Empire. the control of immigration. a question which directly affects the industrial and social condition present and future of our whole country? Why should we surrender that control so far as these Mongolians are concerned. when we carefully retain the exclusive control of immigration so far as all the white races are concerned? Chinaall along has sought just this. the subjection of immigration to the treatymaking power. no matter what the treaty may be. Any treaty will surrender all. and we ought to know it. [Here the hammer fell.]
