Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. you are hearing a discussion of a real live human problem. As a member of the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization I have received during the last few weeks some hundreds of communications from the State of California and the Pacific coast. forecasting just such conditions as the Commissioner from the Philippines just presented to this House. I do not know what will be the solution. I know that the people of the Pacific coast are becoming restive under present conditions. I do not know whether it will be possible or whether it will be though- wise for the Congress of the United States to exclude the Filipino people while under our jurisdiction to the extent that they now are. but I warn you that these troubles which this gentleman. the Commissioner from the Philippines. so eloquently presents this morning are just beginning.
