Mr. President. the language that was stricken out by the committee. and which was ratified by the Senate yesterday overwhelmingly. is as follows: Hindus and persons who can not become eligible. under the existing law. to become citizens of the United States by naturalization. unless otherwise. provided for by existing agreements as to passports. or by existing treaties. conventions. or agreements. or by treaties. conventions. or agreements that may hereafter be entered into. There was very strenuous objection to calling attention to the existing law which makes certain nationalities ineligible. but who by virtue of an agreement acknowledge that fact in spite of a treaty existing which recognizes the most favorednation clause. For that reason.
