But if it were a valid argument in that situation. is it not also a valid argument that we. to gain the good will and the respect of the world. must show national unity among our people by insisting that no American of good character when he goes abroad shall be shown any less respiect than another American because of his religion or because of his race? I am glad that the gentleman from Massachusetts mentioned the fact that the law of San Salvador that barred these estimable fellow Americans was enacted back in 1933. At that time we in our own country had an immigration law that barred the Mongolian. Indeed. it was only last year in the 2d session of the 84th Congress that we wiped out this shameful prohibition. I had not known that in the laws of San Salvador was a provision barring the entry of persons of the Negro race.
