I may say. however. that Admiral Yarnell. with his long experience in Asia. testified in favor of this bill before the committee and said its passage would be very important in cementing Chinese and American feeling. Several other statements have been made in opposition to the bill. It seems there is a fear on the part of some that we are opening a door here. that we are going to admit millions of homeless people from Europe to the United States. Mr. Chairman. we are voting to repeal Chinese exclusion. The words of the bill mean what they say and no more. That is all we are doing.
