When they were in control. with an overwhelming majority in this House and in the Senate. and had control of the Presidency. they niade no appeal to the committee to report the bill for the exclusion of Asiatics. And even when the Democratic Party was in power last year they never asked for a hearing. and this legislation was throttled. I want to say that it is poor politics for them now. after we have practically gone over this subject. to seek here to Inject this question into the consideration of this bill at this time. Notwithstanding what the committee might have done or what the previous committee might have done. they know that we will vote for an amendment of this kind irrespective of where it comes from or how it comes. but I am as confident as I am standing here that this amendment is not offered with the hope that it will be passed.
