Where is this propaganda coming from? Not from the Chinese. but from Japan. whose Black Dragon Society has been propagandizing the United States for the last quarter of a century. to wipe out what they claim is a discrimination against them. Let me say to the gentleman from Michigan and other gentlemen who have spoken here. that I was in the House when the present immigration law was passed. and some of the very men who are how clamoring to break down our immigration laws were here at that time opposing the passage of any law at all that would restrict immigration in any way. If you pass this bill with sections 2 and 3 in it. when this war is over you will have given Japan an argument for breaking down our immigration laws. so that she can flood the district of the gentleman from Washington . so that she can flood the States of Washington. Oregon. and California with Japanese immigrants. I am not disturbed about what Tokyo says about Members of this House. I am sure Tokyo does not think any less of us than we think of Tokyo.
