Such alltherities as the distinguished Senator from tlassachusetts. Senator LODGE. a statesman known not only ini Anlerica it tltroughiout the world for his experience and sagacity ili foreignt affairs. had this to say in the Senate of the United States yesterday. On page 8088 of the Rt.:colma of yesterday I read these remarks from a speecl by Senator LODGE. lie was speaking of the power oh Congress to regulate immigration matters. He saii : In my judgment. oily the Congress of the United States. and. of course. acting with C(gress. the President of the United States. has that powerthat is. the entire legislative body of the United States must say to the rest cri ilhe world. " We alone have the power to say who shall come into Ilbe United Slates as immigrants." I relat what I snid( the other day. from that decision so made (her( is no appeal. i have the utmost respect and admiration for the President. I belieo in film thoroughly. but T venture to think that this brief amomtttent goes further than was perhaps realized by tile conference commuittee. Senator LtIii i in is utterances yesterday. never gave voice to a miore statesmanlike view or propounded a sounder American doctrine.
