Speech #720153291

I am opposed to the pending bill because it attempts to reverse the natural process in human events. It provides the constitution of a virtual new republic at the beginning of the period of preparation instead of at the end. and yet it holds America responsible for the fate of this virtual new republic for 17 years during which we are shorn of the authority essential to an administration of these responsibilities. I have submitted a substitute which is free of these infirmities. It stops immigration. It limits Filipino imports far more adequately than the pending bill. It provides economic preparation calculated to succeed.
