In view of our possession of the Philippines. our occupancy of Hawaii. our intention to preserve the open door in China. and our policy in maintaining cordial relations with Japan. Australia. and other countries on the Pacific. we have good ground to predict that when the interoceanic canal is constructed. the Pacific cable is laid. and vigorous methods. employed to advance our interests. our commercial expansion in the East will grow with rapidity to splendid proportions. Legislation by the American Congress prohibiting the immigration of any class of unassimilable and immiscible foreigners can not affect the march of this great development. Legislation of the character of this Chineseexclusion bill is necessarily exceptional and extraordinary. It can hardly be said that the ordinary rules of consistency and propriety apply. Weare face to face with a fact originating in prehistoric timesthe immiscibility of the white European races and the Mongolian races. The Senator from Massachusetts the other day referred to it as a contest between the great Aryan peoples and the Mongolian. I believe he was right. and he referred to a point which I have had in mind in the consideration of this question. The researches of modern science disclose an enormous antiquity for the human race. and coming down to comparatively recent times we have the geological records of more than one great ice age. when a large part of the northern hemisphere was buried under a stupendous sheet of ice. sending out glaciers. and between these Glacial periods with arctic climates we have intervals of tropical conditions.
