I hope that it will always be exhibited and followed in the legislation of Congress. I hope and pray especially that it may be followed here today in dealing with this Chinese question. which presents a grave peril to the American people. Who is there that would pauperize the intelligent and selfrespecting labor of this nation to the Asiatic level? Who is there that would invite the mental. moral. and physical miscegenation which unrestricted Chinese immigration would bring on our people? The degeneracy which would follow is unthinkable to those unfamiliar with the Asiatic races. but is only too apparent to those who have been brought into contact with them. I remember vividly an excursion which I made through Chinatown in San Francisco a number of years ago. There was gathered there within limits not to exceed a quarter of a mile square. in business buildings given over to the Chinese inhabitants. probably 30.000 Chinamen and a few Chinawomen.
