If there was the intention to make the declaratory statement any less binding than the treaty itself. it was t very deplorable thing to do. It was agreed to before the treaty was signed. The treaty could have been rewritten. it consists of only four paragraphs. and its framers could have embodied the declaratory statement in the treaty as of equal dignity. If our representatives placed our reservation of the question of immigration upon so flimsy a foundation as the Senator indicates. they did something which was outrageous. but I can not put that interpretation upon their- action.. I yield now to the Senator from North Carolina.
