Under this bill every acre of ground is to be under the ownership and control of the United States until the President of the United States shall release it or change its status. It is not for the Filipinos. it is for the President of the United States to determine that question at the proper time. Let me turn to another matter that has twice been broached here today. Mr. President. It is the Presidents remarkable statement in his veto message that emigration from the Philippines to the United States must be stopped immediately. Mr. President. time and time again have the distinguished Senators and Representatives from California and other States of the Pacific coastthe distinguished Congressman from California and othersbrought that subject before the committees of the House and Senate.
