"I do not agree that the opposition to Chine immigration on the Pacific Coast comes from the hoodlum element. Upon the contrary. I believe that a plebiscite cu that question of to legal roters of the Pacific Coast States and Territories would discloas the fact that ninety-fre one-bun- dredths of thoan voters favour abrolutely the exclusion from this country of the hinese who have never beon in the United States and of those now here who may at any time valantarily leave the United States. This is a question of too innoh importanca, involving interests cou Beeted with the social political structure of our Governout and the welfare of unr people, to be controlled in the slightest des by yak dividual monetary luturest that might be mi sarved by the reopening of the gutes of this conn- try to the millions of Chinese who might do aire to migrate to the United States.
