I can not yield. As I say. this is not a question of politics with me at all. I am surprised at the statement of the chairman of the Committee on Immigration that he was surprised at my offering this amendment. He has evidently forgotten a conversation I had with him last week. because I know that the chairman would not intentionally put ine in a false position. I have told ninny men on this floor that I should offer this amendment. men who I thought would be interested in the matter. I have also shown them the amendment and I hlve done nothing surreptitiously or as a matter of surprise. nor have I sought to put anyone on the floor in a false position or to put them in at place where they will have to vote for something that they do not want to vote on. � I am in favor of the exclusion of the laborers of all races except the Caucasian race. and while I am at Member of this House I shall use every right and power that I have as such Menmber to embody exclusion of these in the legislation of this country.
