Your Secretary of Slate today is not in favor of passing an antiJapanese law. Will you take that from me? [Cries of "No! "No! "] Then you take it from him when he speaks. as he will. or has done already. But your Secretary of State is not only opposed to the introduction into this immigration bill of this Asiatic questionI will go further and venture the prediction. I will even make the assertionthat your Secretary of State is opposed to the Raker bill and does not want to have it passed by this House. Your Secretary of State has some regard for agreements made with foreign nations. and he wants to live up to those agreements or he wants to get away from those agreements in an honorable way [applause]. and to his credit let it be said that for the present. despite the attacks made upon him. he does not want to declare this war at the instance of the newspapers in California. but he wants to have it reasoned out in Congress in a deliberative way.
