Speech #780069567

It requires only a little common sense. Let us be coldblooded about the whole proposition. In yesterdays RECORD. at page 5683. you will find an address on this question by the distinguished gentleman from Illinois . I am more than ever convinced that any Member of this House after reading that address would have a pretty good picture of what the socalled Chinese Exclusion Act means to America. The trouble in our committee is that to a certain degree the Members try to set themselves up as judge. jury. bailiff. and warden. It has never been my policy to stifle any kind of importantilegislation.
