The Senator from Arizona. of course inadvertently. stated my position with respect to exclusion. I have never stated that I was not for exclusion. and in attributing to me that position he is in error. I did take the position that the "gentlemens agreement" having been negotiated. having been accepted even by Congress itself. the President of the United States ought to have opportunity to abrogate the same and. by diplomacy. to take such steps as might be deemed necessary and proper for the purpose of removing that as an impediment to the enforcement of the will of Congress I believe that Congress has the absolute right. because it Is a domestic question. to deal with immigration. and I assent to all that has been said by Senators in regard to that matter. but I did not want the statement of the Senator from Arizona to go into the RECORD unchallenged that I was In favor of Japanese immigration. because I am not.
