It has been on the calendar for a long time. I do not want to repeat what I have heretofore said respecting the importance of having action taken on the bill. It deals with the wives and children of Chinese who have been in this country. most of them more than 30 years. and Who cannot be deported. who are here under a solemn treaty obligation entered into by the United States with China subsequent to the Boxer Rebellion. I also call the attention of the Senate to the fact that the same situation exists respecting some 80.000 Japanese who are here. all of them more than 50 years old. all of whom who have been here more than 25 years. none of whom can be deported. and most of them fathers and mothers of Japanese who fought so valiantly on our side during the war. I hope the Senator from Georgia and other Senators interested can between now and January give the matter sufficient study. so we can do justice to this great group of fine residents of America who want to become citizens of this country. and who are. to all practical purposes. citizens.
