The opposition to this resolution is largely fanciful. based on unfounded fears of something ulterior which might happen when some particular piece of International machinery has been fabricated. But there will be plenty of time to scrutinize and consider the wheels and the spindles. How could this Congress by the passage of this resolution repeal a single syllable of our Constitution or a single statute of the United States? What is there here which would modify our policy of immigration. change a tariff. sacrifice our right to our aerial commerce. or lend ourselves to any of the horrors that have been conjured up? As the gentleman from Arkansas observed. this resolution gives no grant of power to the Executive. It is not a blank check.
