All she is asking now to bring up her morale and to unite her people is to give her a quota on the same basis as we gave Germany. Italy. and the other countries of the world. which in the case of China would amount to 100 or. tops. 107 persons a year. Yet I have been criticized from this end of the aisle and from that end of the aisle In statements to the effect that I am trying to open the doors to bring in a lot of Chinese coolie labor. You know and I know that this is not the fact. The bill that we are considering now would be restrictive so that only about 107 per year could .come into this country. no matter where they were born. no matter where they are. and. in addition to that. they would have to comply with all the immigration requirements. moral. physical. mental and financial. I venture to say that 105 would not come in. By the way.
