Congress has found it impracticable. in view of our relations with other countries. to make selections. In fact. we have treaties with nearly all countries now containing what we call the most favorednation clause. recognizing equality. There are probably only two exceptions to that. I think the attempt to meet the idleness situation at the present time by making a discrimination against any races at all is a dangerous matter. considering our relations with foreign countries. I would much rather have an embargo placed upon Immigration entirely for a while. just a general embargo. simply saying that until the idleness was overcome all immigration was suspended.
