Mr. Chairman. it was not ny purpose to raise any feeling between my colleague and myself. but the facts ought to be presented to the House. There was no bill introduced by my colleagie upon this question at the time this matter was brought. before the Committee on Immigration. There was no bill referred to the Department of Labor for a report. and I say to the House today that had it not been for the distinct understanding of all the members of the committee. practically unanimous. that they all believed it was better for the Burnett bill not to have the question of Asiatic exclusion on it. but to bring in the question of Asiatic exclusion separate and distinct. that would have been placed. I believe. upon the Burnett bill.
