The Senator from Illinois has evidently given a great deal of consideration to this matter. and I should like to submit this situation to him: As I understand. we do not excludethe Japanese or the Chinese from the Philippine Islands. but we do. of course. exclude and place a liiuithtion upon the immigration of people of those nationalities into this country. Would it not be true that the same preparedness would be necessary in a sense even if we should give up the Philippine Islands? In other words. after the war would not Japan feel just as strongly that her people should be placed upon a level with the other immigrants to this country should we give up the Philippine Islands as if we should hold them?
