The foreign nations of the world. the European nations. therefore. would have that argument against us and in their favor for declining either toaid us or as a justification of their cooperation with Japan. but when we got out of Asia. and Japan no longer had tile equity to demand reciprocity upon us om. to threaten retaliation. them there would be no justification for Japan demanding of the foreign countries cooperation in her behalf actively or for sympathy against us positively. To that extent we remove tile rrghteousness or the equity of the claim of Japan for her people to come into our country and.we remit herI would say to the learned Senator from Idahoto the single right of merely basing it upon a mere desire to be equal to that which citizens of other nations enjoy. To that we could answer that our opposition was based on the theory of the AngloSaxon unitythe Caucasian exclusionas distinguished from that of the Asiatic. whereas in the other event. when we went into Asia. we foreclosed ourselves from taking the position of "Asia for Asiatics. America for Americans." That. I would say to the able Senator from Idaho. is the distinction I make.
