It is intended merely to stay tle unrest. the clamor. the dissatisfaction that has manifested itself. commencing oil the Pacific coast and extending eastwardly frot there. a dissatisfaction that is made known in no uncertain ways and ili a voice that has at last reached the capital of the nation. Tie proposed legislation as a permanent proposition would not be worth the paper upon which it is written. In the first place. direct immigration is in no wise provided against. In tile next place. I take it. under the very language of the proviso. if Japanese subjects should receive passports in good faith to go to some other country. say to go from Japan to the Hawaiian or the Plilippine islands. and they did not at the time they received the passports entertain a fraudulent purpose to use them to get away from Japan to enter the United States. then we could not deny them admission should they subsequently come here.
