Mr. Chairman. in handling international affairs of this nature. particularly when it comes to the consideration of an amendment which would be in direct and flagrant contradiction of a solemn treaty regularly entered into. I conceive it to be the duty of every Member of the House. regardless of politics. to stand by the administration. whatever its political complexion may be. while it is engaged in negotiations for the purpose of settling in a regular. orderly. and decent way these problems growing out of the immigration of alien races. And I especially consider it the duty of the Democratic Members of this House. whose administration is now negotiating a treaty for the settlement of these delicate questions. to wait until the Secretary of State and the President of the United States have reported their inability to come to an agreement. Then there will be plenty of time for us to take the truculent attitude which some gentlemen want us to assume.
