We then extended them the glad hand and said we wouid help them if they would help us. Thus far they have not helped us at all. The Senate has today and yesterday voted down half a dozen amendments to this bill to exclude megroes from immigration into the -United States. Neither the Independent Senator from the .State of California nor the Democratic Senator -will dare to -say that the Japanese are inferior to negroes. .and yet we got no help. We asked for -bread. and Tou gave -us a stone. You -are -not willing to vote to texclude negro Immigration from the West Indies. A great many of them are attempting to come from Jamaica and Guandaloupe. You are not -willing to provide for the danger by excluding negro immigration from -Africa itself or the West Indies.
