I hope the Senator is correct in the expression just made. The point simply is thisthat the time may be quite remote. When independence is granted. I suppose the Filipino labor. at any rate. will be excluded. just the same as the Japanese or the Chinese or other Asiatic races. Now. I want to put it to the careful mind of the Senator: Inasmuch as the granting of independence may be quite or very remote1. 2. 3. 4 years. 5 years. possibly 10 yearsshould we not stop the coming of this type of labor in the meantime? If it be an evilas. of course. we think it is from our American standpointif it be an evil. should we not check it. stop it. and not remain waiting for the granting of independence?
