Speech #820214791

I say to the Senator that the bill includes what I have just been talking about. I say that. Insofar as persons who are within the socalled Asiatic triangle and persons of oriental blood are concerned. the bill provides that they shall not be treated on the basis of a quota system from a particular country. but that they shall be treated on the basis of what their bloodstream seems to reveal. Scientifically. there is no difference between the blood of a person from Japan and the blood of a person from Sweden. But somehow or other our consular officers are supposed to possess some sort of medical prophetic insight and vision which will reveal things that modern science has never been able to determine.
