We have been thrown in alliance with the Republic of China and General Chiang Kaishek. and today we are allied with him in every way that a great and honorable people can be allied with another great people to fight for the principles of government we hold so dear. The battle has been an unequal one for a long time. The Japanese Imperial Government battles with a slogan of "Asia for the Asiatics." and they are teaching the Chiinese and other eastern peoples that we and Great Britain are their enemies and that they should have a government of Asiatics. which the Japanese will furnish. The situation is critical. The leaders of our country and the leaders of the Republic of China. those who conduct our foreign affairs. advise us that this ancient law discriminating against the Chinese people is an irritatIng matter. to sijeak mildly. that It is helping Hirohito and his damnable dynasty. that in the struggle for the heart and judgment of the Chinese themselves this act which we seek to repeal is being used more effectively than anything else to win the Asiatics. even the Chinese. to the standard of Hirohito. We are asked to repeal it by those who lead us in both countries. I say this Congress ought not to hesitate for a minute to repeal it. because it may do the great cause in which our boys are dying and into which we are pouring our treasure great good. It certainly cannot do labor or anybody else in the United States any harm worth mentioning. A small number of Chinese admitted on an equality under the quota law with other countries can do but little if any harm. but we are advised by those who know the Chinese mind and understand the struggle there that the repeal of this law will be a mighty contribution to Chiang Kaishek and the great Republic he represents. I think it will help win this war. If we are to have peace on earth.
