The best estimate I can command puts the Chinese cooly at about 400.000.000. Think of it! Give these countless myriads. these incalculable hordes. free access to the best and most prosperous land in the world and it will need no straining imagination to prophesy that in the years to come the burning question will be. Shall the AngloSaxon and kindred races possess this country or shall the Mongolian control it? That proposition will be absolutely settled in the passage of this bill. This legislation is not directed against these persons because they come from China or from any other country.
