Omitting all reference to anything in the act. they made a con]plete. substantive provision which would be a complete statute if it stood by itself. They omitted that language entirely aind inserted a new substantive provision. as follows: No alien now in any way excluded from or prevented from entering the United States shall be admitted to the United States. I call the attention of the Chair at the thr. hold to the fact that the language that I have read would. standing by itself. be a complete law. while the language stricken out in the billNothing in this act shall be construed to repeal any existing -law. treaty. or agreement in to far as such law. treaty. oi igreement scrves to prohibit or restrict immigration to the United States or any possesslon thereofis a limitation on another act. Theyare as far apart as the antipodes. as the North and the South Poles.
