/ bic effort TO protect this country from Asiatic
! immigration. The only references to the
| treaty in the Act are made in justification Of
those sections which require those Chinese
residents now here who desire to visit their
| old country to sake out passport, and which
| requires those Chinese who are not lahofsrs
