Presidents and people have been wrong for 60 years. I deny it. If it had not been for these legal restrictions our country would have been filled with Europeans and Asiatics and our problems vastly increased as to alien influences and dangers. No injustice is done to China. greater or above that to other Asiatics. and any country has a right to protect itself. that is what these laws did. To elevate China now above the other Asiatics is a discrimination against them and lays the foundation for future disputes with them. We may ignore them now in our enthusiasm to correct our alleged mistakes to help an ally. but these questions have a way of flapping back in our faces. Also it will raise new problems along other fronts.
