Mr. Chairman. I am giving my cordial support to the bill which has been brought in here by the chairman of the Committee on Immigration. I am for the restriction of immigration or I would not be supporting this bill. I do not want our people forced into an always increasing competition from Europe. Asia. or Africa. But. as a matter of fact. the Asiatic immigration is not an acute or serious matter. It has gone off until it is almo. t negligible. Although the treaty would permit it. the Emperor of Japan agreed with the President to use his influence to keep his people from coming. and he has kept his word.
