Senator BURTON. which have been voiced here today in the Interest of the Japanese people and their virtues I do not rise to question or deny. I believe. along with the fundamental principles involved and which I consider to have been violated. that we as Members of Congress on our oaths have a fundamental obligation which we can not escape. and that obligation is to the American people and to the American people only. for these same American people when they sent us here made us their trustees. and I for one propose to hold that trust sacred. If we once recognize the right of a foreign government to enter into the consideration of a purely domestic matter like the immigration question. if we establish this precedent. it will rise to plague us in generations yet to come. and therefore. Mr. Speaker. as much as I regret to do so. under the circumstances.
