It seems to me that the Senate ought to agree with me that San Francisco. under the laws of California. should regulate her own schools. and that the President of the United States ought not to have entered into that controversy. and that you ought not by this legislation here to pass on a question which is already deeply agitating the Pacific coast. It ought to be left out until you call take it up properly and settle it finally. The Pacific coast representatives. I aver here. within one week after this passes. will be demanding the exclusion of J panese coolies and laborers. not solely because they compete. with our labor. but for other reasons which I will not go into detail in open session. But the reasons are there. and they are urged more strongly against the Japanese than they were against the Chinese. I have nothing to offer in opposition to the civilization of the Japtanese.
