I have no doubt. as none of us have. about the power to exclude any or all immigration. In the exercise of that power. I advocated and voted. many years ago. for the complete exclusion of the Chinese. I never have been better satisfied with any vote I gave than that. Later on I voted for the legislation on the statute books prohibiting the importation of labor under contract. Later on I voted for the legislation excluding paupers. Now there seems to be a desire to further exclude immigration and to apply the intelligence test. Very well. I am inclined to think that is desirable.
