Now. however. Mr. Presidentand I am speaking only for myself in thisI think the situation has changed. I think it ceases to be a question whether this is a desirable method of restricting Japanese immigration. The letter of the Japanese ambassador puts the unpleasant burden upon us of deciding whether we will permit our legislation to be controlled by apprehensions of " grave consequences" with other nations if we do not follow a particular line of legislative conduct. I. for one. feel compelled. on account of that veiled threat. to vote in favor of the exclusion and against the committee amendment.
