Speaker. our potential trade with China after this war is over should furnish jobs to hundreds of thousands of our boys when they return from the war. Mr. Speaker. every word I said 2 years ago in support of the bill to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act is just as applicable today In support of the passage of H. R. 3517 which extends to the East Indians. the same privileges that we have granted to the Chinese. Keeping in mind the best inteiests of our people. the best interests of our returning soldiers who will be looking for jobs. and knowing as we do that the tugofwar. between Uncle Sam and Joe Stalin is just starting in the Orient. the outcome of which will determine just what influence and position we will have in Asia during the coming years.
