The statement I refer to is as follows: The efforts of the proChinese element among the people of the Atlantic and Middle West States for the modification. and in some quarters the total repeal. of the Chineseexclusion laws. have been so pronounced during the past few years that It is deemed expedient to present as full and accurate a report of Chinese immigration to the United States as it is possible to gather from the various government reports upon the subject. The tabulations submitted were compiled from the reports of the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration for the fiscal years 19031908 and from data contained in the report of the Twelfth Census. 1900. The text explanatory of these tabulations is chiefly extracts from the Report of the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration. and when from that source are quoted verbatim and indicated by the notes attached thereto. For many years it has been a disputed question between the proponents and opponents of our exclusion policy as to the expediency of such policy. and the arguments have been based chiefly upon the numbers of Chinese coming to the United States and becoming domiciled therein.
