We all remember that there was a boycott in China upon American goods. and great pressure was brought to bear on the President and the officers of his Cabinet to relax the law so as to increase the exports of American goods to China. I know that manufacturers from my section of the country clamored for a restoration of the conditions which would maintain unimpaired the volume of exports of textiles to China. I know that later the Department of Commerce and Labor ceased to execute the Chinese deportation law. I do not know whether the failure to execute the law was the result of a bargain between the President of the United States and the Chinese ambassador. but I know that the boycott existed in China and the boycott has ceased. that the exclusion law here was being enforced and that the law now is not being enforced. Whether these are merely coincidences totally unrelated to each other is a question I leave to the judgment of the House.
