If Congress itself. if every vote cast upon it in the 1louse and Senate. and the President should sign it. should pass a law yielding to a foreign country. as this gentlemens agreement does. to say that Japan should say who should oomo to our country. it is against our Constitution. it is against our very sovereignty. and can not be done. Now the only point that we desire is that this matter might be fully and fairly presented to the House. so that we might put in positive law that the gentlemens agreement is not in operation any longer. and that the statutes of Congress may co.trol. and that our officials may determine who shall come to the United States. The immigration officers hold up their hands v..hen you ask them. "Why do you not eclude tLese persons?" They have not a word to say. When a Japanese comes to our shores and presents a passport and he is admissible we can not exclude him unless he Is diseased. Now. the dignity and honor and stability of our country demand thht all the other nations of the earth abide by and witai our sovereignty as a Nation.
