Formosa. and the Pescadores. and the islands under the mandate of Japan. Japan is protected . but where is -there anything in this suppleinentnl agreement which will protect the United States in the assertion that domestic questions shall not be included in the fourpower pact. and which will prevent domestic questions being dragged by Japan into the provisions of the fourpower pact? It seems to me rather strange that the representatives of the United States. after Japan had secured the concession as to the recognition of her mandated islands. should have dropped the only protection we had against immigration among the possible questions that might he dragged before the tribunal of the four powers created by this pact. So I say that this presents a very serious question for the United States. and it raises a question upon the Pacific coast which Senators will have to -take into account sooner or later. because. if it is omitted from the treaty. it is an abandonment of the concession which we wrung from Japan that immigration should not be considered among the questions subject to the jurisdiction of the four powers. Mr. President.
