The gentleman from Texas uses the word "belligerent." I am not any more belligerent than the distinguished gentleman has been in his antiimmigration speeches on the floor of the House. I will say that I was endeavoring to discuss two questions: First. the treatymaking power of the United States. in so far as it could affect the rights of States. and. second. discussing another question which is closely related to that. the corporate ownership of land in this country. which our States have endeavored by local laws to prevent. If you can overturn the laws with reference to alien land laws you can overturn them in reference to the corporate laws.
