The Senator will recall that I introduced and there is pending a bill to stop Filipino immigration to continental United States. With great respect to the views of the learned Senator. I have taken the position. and I hold it now. that there would not be any inconsistency or violation of principles if we did stop immigration whilst our flag floated over the Philippine Islands. I note the remarks of the President in his message. and I was curious as to whether the President thought. as I have thought. that we could without violating principle stop completely Filipino immigration into continental United States pending the transition period contemplated by the bill.
