MlcREYNOLDS. I thank the gentleman for his suggestion. After this amendment was refused. evidently not willing to relinquish their power. the State Department submitted to the conferees an amendment which provided that certain provisions of this bill shall not apply to tile nationals of those countries with which the United States. after the enactment of this act. shall have entered into treaties by and with the advice of the Senate by the restriction of immigration. Do not these atendmnents as sought by them show plainly that the State ])epartment at that time still desired to leave the question of immigration open to treaties made by that department? It is the history of all the departments that they are always seeking more power and oppose the relinquishment of any power which they possess. This is true of all tile departments of Government. and if power is continued to be given to them it would result in a bureaucratic form of government which is even worse than a monarchial form of government. because bureaucracy is not responsible to anyone.
