Mr. Speaker. today we have the opportunity to bring about a better understanding between the Chinese people and ourselves and to do justice to the Nation that is our most friendly ally in the present war. This opportunity presents itself in the proposal to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act. which is now being considered by the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. In considering a bill to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act. as in the consideration of all other legislation that affects the welfare of this Nation. we. should keep before us first. last. and all the time the question. What effect will this legislation have upon the general welfare of our people? On that point there can be no difference of opinion and no argument.
