I had intended to do all in my power to make the legislation in the present bill as easy for them and for their feelings as possible. But. Mr. President. the question of immigrationand I am only about to repeat what has been often saidis perhaps the greatest of fundamental sovereign rights. If a country can not say who shall come into the country. it has ceased to be a sovereign country. it has become a subject country. Mr. President. I regret to say that the letter addressed to our State Department by the ambassador from Japan seems to me a letter improper to be addressed by the representative of one great country to another friendly country.
