We would run counter to our relationship with Great Britain if we go very far with this. This is the language they use. They say "white persons." and then they go on down and change the immigration law in many respects. Those of you who were here when we built up the great code of immigration law recall that we spent on them a lot of debate and serious consideration. political and otherwise. If this bill is adopted. the law would be changed very materially. They say not "Indian persons and persons of Indian descent" but "persons indigenous to India." Where will that take them?
