Notwithstanding the financial and military aid this country has extended to China. certain wellmeaning people assume an apologetic attitude and cry out that the American people must make atonement for all the sins other nations have committed against China. They go about in sackcloth and ashes. cutting themselves among the tombs. And we are told that unless we repeal the Chinese exclusion laws we are guilty of a great sin against ourselves and against the Chinese. The proponents of this measure say its enactment will help win the war and make the Chinese our friends. If what we have already done for the Chinese has not made them our friends. I do not know what we could do to make friends of them. This measure. innocuous as it seems. Is an attempt to put the camels nose under the tent of our immigration laws. because in the offing we know that there is a bill pending to bring into this country millions of aliens from foreign countries under the pretext that they are to be here just for the duration and 6 months longer. But once you get them in you will never get them out. We have not been able to get rid of Harry Bridges.
