I think you must admit that the effect of our action. if action were taken by Congress to repeal the Chinese immigration law and put them on a quota. would be changing a policy that we have had on our books for 60 years. Without saying whether it is right or wrong. the point is that in my judgment to change it in wartime is dangerous. because in wartime the sympathies or prejudices. whichever apply. are at their highest pitch. and men cannot think calmly and cooly as they should think when they are dealing with a vital problem of this kind.
