Mr. President. the Committee on the Philippines left the matter of Chinese immigration in the Philippines to the Committee on Immigration. thinking it belonged more particularly with the general subject. But. as I understand the amendment offered by the Senator from Connecticut. it now applies to the Philippine Islands and to all territory under the jurisdiction of the United States the same laws of exclusion that now exist in regard to the mainland territory. Unless I am very much mistaken in regard to the amendment which I offered last night. which the Senator from Connecticut accepted. and which is now a part of his amendment. no Chinese laborers can be admitted into the Philippine Islands and no Chinese laborers can pass from the Philippine Islands into the United States or into Hawaii or can come from Hawaii into the United States.
