Neither is it important as compared with the population of that country. but it is important for us to say that we recognize you as our fellow human beings. We need not get so uppish about this matter. We immigrated to this country ourselves and if you want to go back to the beginning and right the things that are insisted- upon by the opponents of this bill. we might have to turn the country back to the American Indians and go ourselves somewhere else. No one is asking to open the floodgates of immigration. to take down all the bars. but we are asking that the United States of America do not continue a discrimination against a people whom we want to have as our fellows in arms and to help us establish a peace in this world based on the good neighbor doctrine..
