That is what I thought. Mr. Presldent. the purpose is very manifest. and I am most heartily in favor of prohibiting. in so far as we can. the immigration into this country of any people.. any race. the amalgamation of which with the white race will tend to lower the standard of manhood and womanhood. It is not a question of intellectual acquirements. It is a question of race. I do not think any student of history will deny the fact that that is a very vital question. I think. if I am correctly informed. that the decadence of the civilizations of the past has been in a large measure due to the amalgamation of superior and inferior races.
