This must stop. Our sovereignty as a Nation must be supreme In this land and we alone permitted to say who shall enter here. In the Roosevelt correspondence this appears: "I secured an arrangement with Japan under which the Japanese themselves prevented any immigration to our country of their laboring people. it being distinctly understood that if there was such immigration the United States would at once pass an exclusion law." But somehow or other that does not appear in the report of 1908. That evidently was part of the "gentlemens agreement" that somebody left out. It was dictated by the great President Roosevelt and the indisputable facts show that is has been flagrantly violasted.
