I do not dispute the necessity of its enforcement in the interest of orderly debate. I simply insist that it shall not apply to me only. The figures. if the Senator from Connecticut will permit me. taken from the report of theHawaiian Commission. are: Hawaiians and mixed bloods. 39.000. Japanese. 25.000. Chinese. 21.500. Portuguese. 15.000. Americans. 4.000. British. 2.250. Germans and other Europeans. 2.000. Polynesians and miscellaneous. 1.250. and. as we have repeated evidence. there have been 25.000 additional Japanese contract laborers imported since. so that the total number of Japanese and Chinese would be 71.000. or thereaboutsmore than half.
