These laws have been. are being. and will be. thoroughly enforced. The violations of them are so few in number as to be infinitesimal and can be entirely disregarded. There is no serious proposal to alter the Immigration law as regards the Chinese laborer. skilled or unskilled. and there is no excuse for any man feeling or affecting to feel the slightest alarm onthe subject. Now. sir. that was the Presidents view in regard to Chinese immigration in 1905. and it applies now exactly to Japanese immigration in 1907. Every reason urged to exclude the Chinese can be applied with equal force to time Japanese. I wish to quote something here. In 1870. as I say. we entered into the treaty with China providing for the unrestricted immigration of Chinese labor. This country rejoiced at that time. and all over the country there was rejoicing over the treaty that we had entered into. and great things were expected to result from it. But here and there was one who saw clearer into the future and understood better than his fellows. and one of those who at that time saw into the .future and saw what would happen in case. this treaty was entered into. was the distinguished junior Senator from Maryland .
