I quote as follows: The question is whether we are going to build up a strong. independent. upright. and patriotic people. and develop a civilization that will exert a helpful influence on all the world or whether we are going to be a greedy. grasping nation. forgetful of high ideals and concerned only In the making of money. Aside from presentday pretexts. Chinese immigration is defended by those who believe that a universal brotherhood requires us to welcome to our shores all peoples of all lands. This is the sentimental argument advanced in favor of Chinese immigration. There Is no more reason why we should construe brotherhood to require the admission of all people to our country than there is that we should construe brotherhood to require the dissolution of family ties. The family is a unit. it is the place where character and virtue and usefulness are developed. and from the family a good or evil influence emanates.
