I assume 10 years agoto do away with the extraterritorial rights that we had in China. a sovereign and independent nation. and also resolutions that I introduced and -spoke on years ago. long before the war. to recall the 10 gunboats which we had on the Yangtze River. Why should we. as a sovereign nation. maintain warships upon a Chinese. river that is entirely within another sovereign nation. especially one that is a friendly nation. such as China has been with us? So when we consider today the repeal of the Chinese exclusion laws. some of which were enacted over 40 years agocall it what you willit certainly must be a gesture of friendship.
