Mr. Chairmanand I am old enough to rememberthat when there grew up in this country what was known as the Know Nothing party I heard the same tirade against that splendid race. that magnificent people. the Irish. An appeal of the same sort was made to exclude the Irishman from emigrating to this country. and the same sort of appeal was made against that magnificent race. the German. who in the midst of their great primeval forests uttered the first great sentiments of liberty founded upon community. independence. and home rule. And so we must not set ourselves up as judges against all the balance of the world because we happen to be Caucasian and white. These Chinese have lived in their own country. claiming no relation with the balance of the world. asking no relation with the balance of the world. and their history goes back to the time of Confucius. the great primal lawgiver. and far beyond the time of Confucius the august Empire extends. until its origin is lost in the twilight of fable.
