Communist propaganda throughout the world. and particularly in the Orient. has made capital of the allegation that we treat the yellow races. the black races. with contempt. that we do in fact discriminate against them. even to the point where we discriminate against those who are citizens of the United States. In the McCarranWalter immigration bill that passed this House last year and became law. a step was taken In the direction of recognizing the potential danger of this Communist claim. For the first time in the history of our immigration policy there was set up what is called an AsiaticPacific triangle and there were given to those areas in the Pacific and other areas throughout the Far East. quotas permitting regulated immigration.
