Forty million acres is almost or quite twice as much land as there is altogether in such a State as Indiana. It is a vast empire. This provision. to my mind. seems to give to the Philippine Commission entire authority to administer as they see fit the immigration laws of the United States. I am quite sure that was not intended. but I wish to call the attention of the Senator from Massachusetts to it. so that. if my objection is well taken. before the bill comes up at some time that part of it can be carefully looked at.
