I do not believe that any of these provisions add particularly to the value of the existing lawthe law existing today. and which will exist until the treaty expires on the 7th day of December. I do not care to go into a debate on this question. My colleague . who went into it extensively. was very much impressed with the certainty that if before the 7th day of Decembar some legislation is not enacted the country would be open to Chinese immigration. I can not give my full assent to that view. I am inclined to think that if I had to determine the question I would hold otherwise. but I agree that there is enough in it. and that it would be such a great disaster to the American people if it should be held by the proper tribunal to determine the question that it did open the door to the Chinese. that in order to make sure we ought to enact soide kind of legislation. either that proposed by the House or something that we ourselves may propose.
