Speech #560024361

I made a similar obsefvation with respect to the attitude of the Senator from Alabama that was made by the Senator from Wisconsin . My statement was based upon the utterance of the Senator during the debate at the last session. He objected to the consideration of the bill which was in my charge extending the immigration and anticontract labor laws of the United States to Hawaii. He said in reply to the request to take up thebill: " I will state that whenever the bill is taken up. I shall undertake to amend it in such way as to try to save those people from ruin in consequence of this legislation. and I will take all the time that it is necessary to do it. I recalled the other day simply that observation. but since reading the entire debate. I do not think it can be said that he was unfriendly to the ultimate extension of our immigration and anticontract labor laws to Hawaii. He preferred. possibly. the extension of those laws through his own bill rather than through the one I had in charge. . In this connection.
