The people of those islands do not want the Chinese there. for when they come in and get hold they crowd the people of the islands out of all the small trades and businesses. As General MacArthur said. they regard the Chinese with a shuddering dread. Now. in any bill which passes here. I hope. in justice to those people awarded to our charge. that whether our tenure of those islands be long or be short. we shall not throw open the doors to the influx of an immigration which the people of the islands so profoundly fear. MIr. President. as to the bill of the committee.
