It is simply an amepdment in behalf of the American worker and the American soldier. It will fully satisfy China. It will not antagonize the Koreans and other Asiatics. It is the only thing that has been offered that will absolutely be fair to every race and every nationality on the face of the globe. It seems to me that it is the only solution to this question. We know that after this war there will be a mad scramble of people from other nations to come here. They came here following the First World War. In 1918. the number of immigrants was 110.618. in 1919. we had 141.132 immigrants. in 1920. the number jumped up to 430.001. and in 1921. we had 805.228 immigrants coming here. Think of ft. Nearly 1.000.000 in 1 year.
