And to inject at this time and in this way this matter is of necessity to make more difficult his very serious duty. that he will ably and successfully perform if given the confidence of the people of the country and of their Representatives in Congress. And I can not believe that there is a Democrat on this floor who has so little faith in the wisdom of the Executive and his ability through the proper diplomatic channels to handle this situation. as to want to force an issue upon us by the adoption of these proposals. Let men differ as they please about the great fundamental question of immigration that we are considering in this bill. but let them not drag into it a matter that is now receiving the diplomatic attention of our own and of foreign countries. I am not a man who is fearful of Americas position and ability to maintain itself against the world. I am one of those who believe in my country and in her possibilities. but I am also one of those who would be the Inst to provoke a situation that might require a resort to force rather than to the peaceful solution of a question. and I can only repeat that in the consideration of this matter let us remember that we speak for America. not for any section of America. and that we speak not for a party. but for all the people of America.
