But we cannot gamble our future in the Pacific on the assumption that no matter how many mistakes we make. the Japanese will make even more and worse ones. There is a lot of evidence thatthey are beginning to be smart enough to try to win the political offensive before we wake up. All they need to do is to start treating the Chinese and other Asiatics better than we treat them. Where their airplanes used to drop bombs on Chinese cities. they now frequently fly over. dip their wings. and drop food. Therefore.. it is too precarious to wait until after the war to deal with this issue. because without China we have absolutely no assurance we will win it. The risk in waiting is too great. To make this change in our immigration laws is as important for our economic interests in the postwar world as for our military interests now. I understand the gentleman from Illinois plans to discuss this matter in detail. However. at the risk of boring you.
