I am compelled to give heed to it. I did not favor the "gentlemens agreement." I will say frankly. I thought it unwise to practice favoritism in the Orient. believing that China and Japan should be treated alike under our laws. Japans marvelous advance and Chinas rapid evolution during the last decade has challenged the attention of theentire civilized world. If the officers of -the Japanese Government are deemed competent to pass upon the quality and character of native emigrants to the United States. then the Government of China. perhaps. might have the same courtesy at our hands. they being of equal bonor.
