Mr. President. while I am on this subject I would say that that is not confined to the Pacific coast. We have a great problem in the East as to immigration. We have but recently taken the position that we have a right to be heard by another governmeat as to the right undev an existing treaty of our citizens to go into that country. and without stopping to elaborate it. it is a very easy matter to anticipate that the time will come when a similar demand may be made upon us by a foreign nation. When such demand is refused by us. and a demand for arbitration shall be made. when a treaty providing for such arbitration is presented. it will be the main question for us to determine. in view of the horde which comes annually upon us. and which our people now are trying so strenuously to resist and to regulate and to control. whether or not we consider that a question to be arbitrated.
