I do not want to take the time of the Senate now even to discuss that phase of the case. I am glad I have aroused some little interest In this discussion. The purpose for which I rose was to point out to the Senate that on the western coast of America we are now having troubles between the Filipino workmen and the American workmen. that under our Immigration law we exclude Asiatics. particularly Japs and Chinamen. but that Filipinos can come into the country with no immigration restriction whatever. and that the policy is absolutely illogical from an immigration standpoint. I wanted to place these accounts of various uprisings in the RECRm for the information of Senators. as well as to transmit * a request of the Philippine Legislature to the Government of the United States to look into these matters. and to accord the * Filipinos the same protection that would be accorded to white workers in the Philippines. If a white man were shot down in * the Philippine Islands. it would be a serious matter.
