We shall find the same thing happening in the case of citizens of almost every other country of the world. We shall not only find people wanting to come from the European countries. but after we shall have defeated Japan. we shall find people wanting to come from all parts of the Orient. Once upon a time we had a law known as the Chinese exclusion law. prohibiting orientals from coming into this country. but not long ago Congress repealed that law against orientals. I voted against the repeal of the law. because I knew that if we repealed the law pertaining to China. every one of the oriental countries would demand that its people be afforded the same courtesy and the same privilege. Already mass meetings have been held demanding that other orientals be granted the same privilege which the Chinese were given when we repealed the -Chinese exclusion law. So much for that. Mr.
