Today there is not only a token quota of 100 from the people of India. but as the result of the declaration of independence of Pakistan. as the result of the truncation of Pakistan from India. Pakistan. likewise gets a quota of 100. Prior thereto we removed the Chinese exclusion from our naturalization and immigration code. and we granted a token immigration to China. There was contained in the India immigration and naturalization bill a similar provision for the Philippines. What we have heretofore done for China and India and Pakistan and the Philippines we now seek to do for other Asiatic countries whose sovereignty or independence may be carved out of this socalled AsiaPacific triangle. We do simple justice then to the Indonesians. to those of Siam. Ceylon.
