We wish them untold blessigs through future years. but we want their unfolding to be on their own land. Loyal to American institutions. loyal to American labor. loyal to Alerican blood. our country should sound a warning to the American people. to the Chinese and Japanese alike. that. however close our commercial relations may be. each race should leave the other free. under the guidance of almighty God. to work out its own great destiny. I append herewith a copy of my bill. which is as follows: A bill prohibiting the Immigration of Japanese and Korean laborers to the United States. Be it enacted. etc.. That from and after the passage of this act the coming of Japanese and Korean laborers to the United States be. and the same is hereby. prohibited. and it shall not be lawful for any Japanese or Korean laborer to come from any foreign port or place to any State or Territory or insular possession of the United States nor from any insular possession to the mainland of the United States.
