I said that I am an admirer of the Japanese. but above all and beyond all. I admire them most in Japan and not on the Pacific coast of North America. I mention to you the fact that the Pacific coast Is sparsely represented in this Houseand I am on my feet at this time for the purpose of asking you gentlemen in the consideration of this bill not to forget the interests of the Pacific coast. which are the interests of tihe United States of America. ii regard to the question of exclusion from our country under the quota of all peoples who are not able to qualify as immigrants. We have to depend on you for that. Our question is an American question. If I had the time.
