It is in a spirit of the brotherhood of the people of America. in a spirit of the policy of the good neighbor that this amendment should be considered. I believe that in terms of our own security and majesty as a nation we should pass this amendment. You know the difficulties which were caused by .the Oriental Exclusion Acts. in alienating our friends in the Far East. Here is something much closer to home. Here is an opportunity to hold out a real hand of friendship to our nextdoor neighbors in the Caribbean when it counts. and show that we treat those people in the West Indies just as we do all of 6ur other brethren of the Americas.
