I desired to say in that connection. when during the gentlemans speech he impetuously cut me off. that the Constitution of the United States. as we all know. was a compromise. and that that compromise was very vividly illustrated by the defect to which I have called attention. namely. the defect that the National Government has no power to control State legislation affecting the rights of noncitizens or aliens residing in the United States. According to the trend of his remarks. the gentleman from Mississippi seems to have left out of consideration the important fact that in this time and day no nation can afford to be absolutely isolated. The time of isolation has passed. and consequently we must circumscribe our selfishness by Considerations for other nations.
