I for one. Mr. President. could never give my assent to any bill which did not protect the Philippine Islands from the invasion of Chinese immigration. and I think that the amendment of the Senator from Connecticut. which simply extends existing laws. extends all of those laws to the Philippine Islands. and by doing so it puts it.beyond the power of the Philippine Commission to admit Chinese labor in any form into the Philippine Islands until Congress shall enact otherwise. I believe that if the Senate considers the existing laws are sufficient for the exclusion of Chinese labor the Philippines will receive the same protection that the mainland territory of the United States receives.
