Might is not synonymous with right. There came before the committee Mr. John Foord. who represented the American Asiatic Association. the American Association of China. and the American Asiatic Association of Japan. "three organizations comprising a membership which I presume." he says. "conducts threefourths of all the commerce between the United States and the Far East." His opinion is as follows: You are aware that the commercial treaties are now being negotiated. You are also aware. of course. that this immigration treaty is not a commercial treaty. as some have hastily assumed. The commercial clauses of the treaty of Tientsin are now under negotiation. and we assume that we shall have the benefit of the mostfavorednation clause. We certainly ought to have it.
