On the other hand. if he did not know of it before. he does now. and if he fails to call for his resignation it is because he himself has contempt for Congress and its laws. and therefore upholds a member of his official family who exprtsses that contempt for Congress and its laws. The third viplation is not without an extenuating feature. It has at least the merit of being frankly acknowledged by the officer In question. Mr. Commissioner of Immigration Sargent. who is a plain. blunt. honest man. and scorns all subterfuge. told us that he was violating the Chineseexclusion. law. So that there may be no misapprehension of his statement or its effect. I will read briefly from his testimony before the committee.
