The present bill will doubtless exclude many of these undesirables. but there should be complete restriction and the bill should be amended in that particular. My colleague. Mr. HAYES. of California. an old and esteemed member of the Immigration Committee. has stated to mae his intention of introducing an amendment to this bill which would exclude from entry all those not eligible to become citizens. This would at once. and without offense. cover the whole problem of oriental immigration. I am strongly in favor of this amendment and believe it to be the simplest method of handling this matter. Let us consider the economic side of the question. as apart from the vastly important social questions.
