Mr. President. I have no desire. as a Member of this great body. to undertake to arouse the passions of any of the peoplewith whom we are doing business. but my fear about this matter is that the language of the Senate amendment absolutely avoids the force and effect of the gentlemens agreement with Japan. for instance. or with some other power. because this says "unless protected by treaty." The treaty does not protect us from the Immigration of the laboring classes of the Orient at all. It simply allows them to come in here ad libitum. and the only thing that protects us is the socalled gentlemens agreement.
