I do not want to inject any outside matter at this time. but I do wish to ask a question of the chairman of the committee at this time. I have been industrious and diligent in appearing before his committee. I have appeared most every time they met. and particularly before the subcommittee. upon a bill . having for its purpose the exclusion of all Asiatic laborers. That bill went to the immigration commissioner. and was reported back favorably with the exceptioD. which stated that the general exclusion was a question of policy for the Government. but the adminstrative features of the bill were perfect. Now. I want to ask. if I am entitled to ask. upon whom does the responsibility rest that the subcommittee having in charge my bill. with whom I have so persistently worked that I almost became a bore to the committee. for its failure to report to the full committee or to the Congress upon that bill.
