If he will glance at the map lie will see it would include considerable territory. It would be very awkward to put the necessary descriptive language in the bill when a few words would accomplish what he desires. What we desired to avoid was the naming of all the little islands in the.archipelago running along the Asiatic coast and to do what the Senate and the House thought was the proper thing. merely to draw certain geographical lines and to say that none within those lines should come. If the Senator from Missouri will allow me to say so. the present language splendidly fits the occasion and excludes those whom it is. desired to exclude without any burdensome language or any invidious distinctions. It fits very nicely. with the exception to which attention has been called. and which can be very easily remedied in conference.
