It is no matter of vital importance. because it applies onlyto the quota during the interim period of some 15 years under the socalled commonwealth government. During that period a quota of 100 is allowed to come into the United States from the Philippines. The amendment proposed by he Senator from California is in effect a total exclusion of Philippine immigration during that period. As I understand it. the Filipinos have no objection to being treated on the same basis as other Asiatics after they have ceased to be under the American flag. but so long as they are under the flag they feel that no discrimination should be made against them on account of race. I must say I think the objection is well founded. and therefore hope the amendment of the Senator from California will not prevail.
