As I have said. there are no laws of the United States that are evaded so ingeniously. systematically. and persistently as the Chineseexclusion laws. I wish to call attention to some testimony before the committee bearing upon this subject. It shows the necessity of defining in the most careful way what was intended by the two powers when they wrote into the Gresham treaty the excepted classes. If the definitions in the bill before the Senate seem to be unduly restrictive. that appearance will be dispelled when you go into the history to which I have adverted. I read from the statement of Mir. Dunn before the Committee on Immigration.
