It is giving hint the authority to legislate. as has been ably stated by the Senator from Idaho [Mr. Dunoss]. Now let us look it little further into this proposition. le President may refuse to admit these people if lie believes that their admission is to "the detriment of labor conditions." Who is to judge whether or not the admission of 10.000. 50.000. perhaps 100.000 Asiatics into this country might be detrimental to the labor interests? The President alone can determine that matter. As I said. it is a question of such farreaching results that we ought not to rely upon the judgment and discretion of atiy one inan. even though lte occupy the exalted position of President of the United States.
