One of the ablest writers against
the Chinese, Mr. James A. Whitney,
sums up his opinion thus:
The Chinese intellect, the Chinese character, is
pa,en bin aqd As dno
with those of every nation in the world
Indeed, large part of the argu-
ment Of the Senator from California
is based. not on Chinese inferiority,
but on his dread of Chinese superior
ity in most of the occupations of life.
Their civilization, he says, will be too
strong for ours, if the two come in
conflict in fair field.
Let me read from the statement of
Mr.. Pixley, counsel for the munich
pality of San Francisco, before the
Congressional committee in 1915:

Mr.. FARLEY. Will the Senator
from Massachusetts, allow me to ask
what he reads from?
Mr.. HOAR. | read from the report
Of the Congressional committee Of
which Senator Morton was chairman,
from the argument of Mr. Pixley,
attorney-general of California, in
stating the case which. having the
charge of putting in the entire evi-
dence against the Chinese, he pro-
posed to establish.
Mr.. FARLEY. Will the honorable
Senator do me the favor to read from
the same report what Mr.. Pixley says
further in his testimony before that
committee?
Mr.. HOAR. No, sir; I think I
should prefer to go ON in my own way
Mr.. FARLEY. 1t is a very short
paragraph.
Mr.. HOAR. I am putting in the
admission of the person charged with
the presentation Of the case which has
led to this legislation. do not think
it is quite fair to ask me to read some
thing else.
