Speech #640217189

The principal argument in favor of the adoption of the pending amendment is to safeguard ourselves against the possible repeal of any provision in our interest in the treaty of 1911. As to the passage to which he has called my attention. it is good as far as it goes. but my amendment goes further. and refers not only to any act but to any act. treaty. or agreement. I will repeat my amendment. It provides: That nothing in this act shall be construed to repeal any existing law. treaty. or agreement In so far as such law. treaty. or agreement serves to prohibit or restrict immigration into the United States or any possession thereof.
