Let me say one thing more. Mr. Speaker: China does not care how small her quota is as long as the stigma against her is removed and she is put on a quota basis and her people who are permitted to enter under this quota are allowed to become naturalized like all other legally admitted aliens. I hope all who are interested will read the hearings when they are printed. We have also printed a small pamphlet containing excerpts from Japanese propaganda broadcasts based on the Exclusion Act. Japan is telling China every day that the American people are just fooling them. and that they do not treat them with the same respect and consideration as they treat their other allies. They urge them to break away from the Americans. They try to show that Americans are just using their Chinese allies for the dirty work of fighting their enemies without even being willing to treat them on the same basis as they treat the Germars and Italians as far as their immigration and naturalization laws are concerned. This constant propaganda upon a weary people can impair our cause in the Far East considerably.
