Chairman. of course the amendment- offered by the gentleman from Michigan would take away the very important part of the bill. May I say to the gentleman. and for the information of the House. bearing out what many Members said here yesterday regarding Japanese propaganda. that last night at 11 oclock the radio of Tokyo in a broadcast beamed all over the Orient quoted the minority report on this bill. We are not putting China in any favored position by this section as regard the other Asiatics. We are merely putting China on an equality with the other nations of the world. We cannot deal with the other Asiatics row in reference to immigration if we wanted to. They are not independent.- India is not an independent country. There is also the problem of Filipino independence- and the problem of.their immigration to this country. I have no doubt that they will be put on an equality basis or a quota basis whei their independence is given to them. Let me say something else about Japanese propaganda.
