I simply make the statement that this amendment will exclude the black races of Africa. If it is accepted I shall offer an amendment to include the same races that are now coming in large numbers to this country fronl certain islands of the sea. It is true that there is only a very small Immigration of the black race from Africa to this country at this time. but there is a considerable immigration of that race from certain islands. and I am informed that It is of a highly undesirable character. It has been said that it is not necessary to include Africa because of the small immigration. Upon that question I appeal to the argument made by the eloquent Senator. from Georgia . who warned us that the time to prevent immigration was before it had come to this country in any large numbersa very logical and proper statement. and one which ought to apply here.
