Opposition comes from other parties. from attorneys employed by Japanese organizations. I have great respect for attorneys at law. and I am not one who would say aught against them in their professional capacity. but there are attorneys employed by Japanese organizations who are attemptIng to prevent the exclusion of aliens ineligible to citizenship. I said yesterday and I say now that this exclusion applies not alone to Japan but It applies to the millions and hundreds of millions of Asiatics and Orientals who are ineligible to citizenship and have been from 1790 down to this hour. Yet one of these same paid attorneys. in a document which reaches me. wishes to depart from that centuryold policy of naturalization and to permit the naturalization of certain orientals. I shall hasten on. and I promise Senators to conclude without very much longer detaining them. I state certain propositions.
