Mr. Chairman. as a nember of the Committee on Immigration I submitted a separate report in order that I might express a wish in that report that this Asiatic problem should be considered at this time. The remarks that were made on the floor a few moments ago by my. colleague. Mr. RAKER. indicates that this problem has been the football of politics for many years past. Men of every party. have run up and down the Pacific coast with illuminated banners saying what this President did or did not say on the Asiatic question. I remember well in the last campaign the display of President Wilsons words as written down in one of his great bookssomething to the effect that the Chinese were better than the Italians and the Poles. I remember it well as displayed on the transparencies on our coast.
