It is a fact. is it not. that a ship can come to the United States under the Chinese flag loaded with coolies. while a ship flying the American flag can not enter one of our ports with the same sort of a crew on board? The ship under the Chinese flag would not be stopped. If it were flying the Chinese flag. it could bring in a crew composed wholly of coolies. but if it were under the American flag it could not have on board a floor sweeper who was a Chinaman or a cook who was a Japanese.
