I am going to ask the Senator a question along a line that I know is not popular in the Congress of the United States. and perhaps not In the country. I submitted a resolution which went to the Committee on Agriculture asking that committee to make inquiry as to the advisability of so amlending the Chinese exclusion act that we might have. under careful restrictions and regulations. some farmers from northern China. who are said to be very excellent farmers. brought into this country to supply to some extent the demand on the part of the farmers for labor during the continuance bf the war. I have information that there fire parties who are ready to bring a very large number of real farmers from China under very strict regulations. even holding up onehalf their pay. depositing it in bank. and guaranteeing that they shall be returned to their home country at the close of the war. Does the Senator think that that is a matter worthy of any consideration on the part of Congress?
