Mr. Chairman. this is an amendment which is proposed to this exception contained in the bill. That exceptlon reads "aliens from countries imunigration from which is regulated in accordance with treaties or agreements relating solely to immigration." My amendment is to strike out the words " or agreements." so that it will. read " aliens from countries immigration from which is regulated in accordance with treaties relating solely to immigration." I do not know just why these words "or agreements " are .contained. I trust that in offering this amendment I amn not playing with dynamite in any way. but I have a very firm conviction that that expression "or agreements" is one that would permit of international trouble arising under this law. May I ask the gentleman from Washington if it is not safer to leave it as "treaties" ?
