The present policy was established in 1917 and reaffirmed in 1924. and again in 1940. You gentlemen sat here in this Chamber and reaffirmed it in 1940. You said in 1940 that you wanted to continue the principle of Asiatic exclusion in our law. You reaffirmed your decision in 1940 to keep intact our immigration law to protect the American people. We had the Chinese bill up 2 years ago. I felt when we had the Chinese bill up that that would be followed b- demands in behalf of the Hindus and the Koreans and the Siamese and every other oriental group.
