We want peace. we want harmony among our people. There can be no lasting peace. no permanent harmony among peoples essentially dissimilar. essentially different. nonassimilable. if not intentionally or presently antagonistic. they ultimately become antagonistic. This amendment goes to this point. that we can now without dishonor. without violating treaty obligations. without doing Injury to anyone. check this immigration and do a common good. a good to our own people and a good to the people in the Philippine Islands. I see by the RECORD that the commissioners sent hither to speak for Philippine independence were moved to address a letter to the Senator from Connecticut in opposition to this amendment. If they are listening. or if they read what I say.
