IMMIGRATION I


7bjrd-Another chief defence by Mr. Blaine of the
bill il that our Chinese immigration is not volun-
tary. Is "undcr contract" the worst type Of
coolyismr; and he says the Burlmgame treaty
"rcprohated any other than entirely voluntary
immigration" Very well; if necessary, lcgslato
against "coolyism'; make 1t penal and punishable
to land coolies" any involuntary immigrants
on our shores. This is a fair field for protective
legislation Or If the Burlmgame treaty is violated
by the present practice of importing coolies "under
contract" make proper diplomatic representations
to the Chinese Government, and stand ready to en-
force our Just de nands a. "A Government. rs we do
in other cases of violation of treaty Obligations or
international duties. | do not recollcct thar any
thing of this l.nd has been tired. Instead of
this our first measure Is a blow at the whole Chi
nese people.
do not conccde Mr. BlainGs claim that all
Chinese immigration ls involuntary. 1t is not true
nor even approximately true, but | am showing
that, admitting II 10 be true II does not tend IN the
least 10 warrant tins Dill
TIE CHARGE THAT CHINA HAS BROKES THE TREATY.
Forth-Nlr Blaine seeks to defend the bill against
the charge that IT ruthles,y violates and dlshonor-
our treaty obligations to China. He declares that
the treaty has not been observed by China SINGLE
hour since 1t was made" hl- is a bold statement
totally unsupported by facts; bu, am still showing
how completely Mr.. Blamcs premises and as-ump-
tons ol fact fail to support his conclusions.
Treaties donations what contracts are 10 iudIyId-
