We broke treaty after treaty with China. particularly through the Scott law of 1888 and the Geary law of 1902. Senator Dawes of Massachusetts said of the Scott act (Fiftieth Congress) : Te law was a rank and unblushing repudiation of every treaty obligation--a violation such as the United States would not dare to commit toward any warlike nation of Europe. But. as I said the other day. this immigration bill is drawn .with due regard to all of the treaties of the United States with the nations of the world. The only thing that has been in the way has been the gentlemens agreement. Under this bill it is ended July 1.
