I should like to explain to the Senator why we did that. and I think possibly he will agree with it. The Senator knows that the Hindus have been held by our courts to be white people. Now. even if they are technically white people they are not the sort of white people the Senator wants to come in. and if we had left in the bill the words . white people" we would not have gotten rid of this immigration that we wanted to avoid. I also Invite the attention of the Senator to the fact that comprehensive language is employed In describing the excluded classes. That language is so broad that it Includes practically all of the white people living in -those countries.
