But the Chinese and Japanese are held up as an all impending danger if we acquire the islands. Why? Oh. because it is said the Chinese will literally overrun the country. Any one who will read the pending resolutions must know that this can not be so. The Chinese now upon the island are expressly prohibited from coming from there into this country by the provisions of the resolutions. and after annexation further Chinese immigration into these islands is also prohibited by existing law. But we are told that the Japanese will swarm in upon us if we take the islands. There is less thanii nothing in this proposition.
