If there be in this bill one solitary word which is violative of any treaty I will gladly vote to eliminate it. for we should keep our international faith unsullied and unimpaired. The distinguished Senator from Wisconsin yesterday urged the observance of faith with foreign nations. and he did not urge it too strongly. Sir. I have. and the members of the Committee on Immigration have. as sensitive a regard for the national honor as has my distinguished friend or anyone else in the Senate of the United States. This bill violative of treaty rights? I challenge anyone in opposition to the measure to point out one line in it. as amended in the Senate by the committee and as it stands now. that is an infraction of our treaty obligations.
