At any rate. we are free to .legislate on the admission of laborers without. violating the treaty. I should like to ask the Senator. apropos of the discussion. what he means by "white persons "? The amendment which has been put into the committees amendment now.reads: The provision next foregoing. however. shall not apply to white persons or to persons of the following status or occupations. In the region excluded. from which no Immigration will be permitted. there are Hindus. The House provision specifically mentions and excludes Hindus. but the Senate amendment nedessarily includes them in the excluded region. Now. the Hindus claim. in naturalization proceedings. to be white persons of the Aryan race.
