I do not think the Senator from Missouri ought to make such a statement as that. because this Is an .American question. We can not have any disagreement between the Senator and myself. or between any two Senators on this floor. on that question. We have got a right to enact any sort of legislation we please on this immigration question. without regard to any other country on earth. except so far as that right is modified by treaties. The Senator certainlyentertaining the views which he does on this immigration questionwould not want to leave this country in this sort of a fix. that if Japan. the day after this Congress adjourns and after this bill becomes a law. should for any reason of her own. good. bad. or indifferent. give us the notice provided for in that agreement. that she no longer proposed to keep it. this country would have absolutely no protection -on that subject. So this language is absolutely necessary. Without even our :charging or dreaming of bad faith on her part. we put Japan in the position that she can change her mind. if she wants to 1do so. and notify us that she has changed it.
