Mr. Speaker. in view of the attitude which our own State Department and the representative of the Japanese Government have taken with regard to the exclusion features of this bill wiiile in the process of its legislative consideration. it can not be deemed improper for me to make some observations with regard to the diplomatlC and international aspects of such proposed exclusion. In the determination of a policy of immigration restriction. Including the exclusion of certain peoples. as is provided for in this bill. there is no question of superiority or inferiority or of national unfriendliness involved. It is no reflection upon oriental peoples that by the provisions of this bill they are to be excluded.
