Would not the Senator from Idaho interpret the amendment to be a change of policy? In other words. it would place a restriction on the movement of citizens of the Philippine Islands desiring to come to California within 60 days after the passage of this bill even though the Philippine government itself had taken no step looking forward to the setting up of an independent government. As the bill came from the Senate committee the restriction on immigration was to take place after the inauguration of a new government in the Philippine Islands. Under the amendment offered by the Senator from California and just submitted by the Senator from Missouri in behalf of the Senator from California. it would seem to me as though our colonial policy would be changed in 60 days even though the Philippine Islands had not made any change in their own arrangements.
