Session #67 · 1921–23

Speech #670415596

Today we have upon the calendar of the House. Joint Resolution 171. which violates at least nine positive laws of the United States and directly violates the Constitution of the United States. It provides that In the year 1923 we are to admit peon and contract labor into the Territory of Hawaii and put them under the condition that existed under the dominion of the Chinese in bygone days. I want to call public attention to the fact that that resolution stands upon the calendar today. It ought to be stricken from the calendar instead of remaining there. to the end that the American people might know the exact attitude of this Congress.
