The gentleman is correct. Of course. I respect the views of the gentleman from Mississippi on the question of immigration. I think this bill is clearly an exception to the position which the gentleman has so consistently maintained. As I understand. this bill is to repeal the exclusion of the Chinese by name. which was certainly an ignoble act. something We ought to remedy. an act passed years ago in an atmosphere of economic pressures. The repeal of this act .would mean that under the quota system 105 Chinese would be allowed to enter this country each year. In view of the fact that the brave people of China are now going into their seventh year of resistance to one of the most vicious peoples the known history of man records. as well as the fact that the Chinese are our allies. I think that the passage of such a law. in addition to being an act o justice on our part. would be distinctly inthe best interests of our country.
