All this has been done. Three years have rolled by and yet you dare not say today what is your ultimate purpose. You dare not stand upon this floor and assert that it is your purpose to admit the 10.000.000 Asiatics into the American Union with equal rights and equal privileges with the American citizens. There is not one man here who will say that he favors that policy. You dare not say that it is your intention for all time to come to govern them under the arbitrary and unconstitutional method now employed. and you have not the courage to say. "We made a mistake. we committed an error. and we will retrace our steps and yet do justice to these people." Why should you not grant them independence?
