Now. if your amendment is adopted. it will let into the United States all of the Chinese that are not there under labor contracts. and you certainly do not want that. You certainly do not want this section stricken out. It would let them all intothe UntedStates. The section asamendel by theamendment offered by the chairman of the committee brings the Chinese in that island all under the exclusion act and prohibits them from coming to the Unted States from that island. If you add this to the section as amended by the chairman. then it N ould have force and effect. but you ought not to offer your amendment in lieu of that.
