It being undesirable to encourage assimilationthey should be discouraged from coming here. They can not. in the nature of things. make desirable American citizens. and the problem is insistent and aggravated. on account of the large number on the other side of the ocean who desire to come. The Senator from Missouri was surprised that we were not interested in immigration from the West Indies and from the Azores. That is no problem. Those people are not trying to get into this country in any appreciable lmbers. but we oil the Pacific coast have been holding back. in the matter of the Chinese and the Japanese. a real. silent. but overwhelning invasion. They are accomplishing by silence and diplomatic means what they dare not attempt by open and forceful means. The Senator will remember. from his reading of history. that the civilization of Europe. of which we are so proud and of which we are the product. was saved from these Asiatic hordes by the little hand. of Greeks at Marathon. which gave us two centuries of Athenian life. by the Gauls. who drove back Attila and his Asiatic hordes. and by Sobieski at the gates of Vienna. who repelled the Turkish Mongolian incursion. They were always fighting a horde of migratory Asiatics to protect and save our civilization. and we are making that same fight upon the Pacific coast today. and we are not understood nor appreciated. We are saving this country from Asiatic contamination. Tile orientals now have all the commerce of the Pacific. Out of every six ships from the Orient that come in five are Japanese. giving a preference to the Japanese in. matters of freight and passengers. and we are indulging the " pipe dream " that these are a har lless and inoffensive people. who have no designs whatever oil our commerce nor to possess our land.
