I am thoroughly familiar with the view of some of the gentlemen of the coramittee and I realize what their alms are and that they would not hesitate a moment to close permanently and completely our doors to ImmigTation and build. if possible. a Chinese wall around our country. It is to them that I wish to state that I firmly believe that this Treat Nation of ours will never tolerate any such foolhardy proposition. On the contrary. in lieu of them bringing in a more stringent bill than this they will be compelled by public opinion. long before this act expires. to repeal it and to bring in a fair and humane immigration bill. because the American people will shortly realize that Congress and others clamoring for this legislation have been imposed upon by false and misleading reports. and in place of having millions unemployed the country will clamor for labor. not only the farmer in the West and In the South but the manufacturer. the mill owner. and many industries all over the United States will be appealing to us for relief. But I realize that it matters not what I may say or how de-. fective this bill is. Owing to the prejudice that now exists. this measure will become a law.
