I think I understand the position of the Senator from California. There is only one other matter to which I would like to invite the attention of the Senate. It is inevitable that a limitation will be placed on immigration from the Philippines. and that a time will be set for the granting of independence to the islands. This amendment will make the inhibition apply practically at once to all Filipinos coming to this country. We believe it would be very much better if that question were left open and the limitation kept at 100. for then in dealing with the subject after independence is granted we would deal with a new republic on the basis of statehood.
