That China offers the greatest trade possibilities for this country in postwar economy and for that reason we should commence now to offer proof of our sincere friendship. in order to take advantage of trade opportunities following the war. Sixth. That it will stop one phase of dangerous Japanese propaganda. that is. "Americans are unfriendly toward Chinese. otherwise they would admit them t. citizenship." Seventh. That putting China on a quota basis with other nations is fair and equitable and that it will only amount to a bagatelle since present quota restrictions would permit only approximately 107 Chinese to enter each year that no one should quarrel with the admission of such an infinitely small number. Eighth. That a combination of the foregoing reasons make this bill a vital war measure.
