EXCLUDE THE CHINESE
California Doubling RepubIi-
cans Would Have Voted
For Bryan.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington Jan. 25.-When the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the House today
resumed it's hearings on the subject uof
the re-enactment of law prohibiting the
coming to this country of Chinese, it was
informad that if it had not been under
stood fully by the people of the Pacific
coast in the last national campaign that
the Chinese would be excluded by a Re-
publican administration and by Repub-
lican ongresCs California's vote would
have been cast for Mr.. Bryan.
This statement was made by E. J..
Livernash, Assistant Manager of the
San Francisco Examiner He appeared
before the Committee in support of the
Kahn bill for the exclusion of the Chi
nese, which, it appeared, in the course
of his statement, he had part in pre-
pairing.
In the course of his argument Mr..
Livernash particularly supported the see
tion of the proposed act which prohibits
the coming of Chinese into this country
from the Philippines or other insular
possessions of the United States. He
referred to the flood of petitions which
has been poured upon Congress in favor
of a more liberal treatment of the Chi
nee and declared that for Congress to
listen to such petitions would be simply
to assist the exploitation of the Philip
pine Islands by Europeans, and cause
us to lose sight of the commercial fu1
ture of the islands as an American pos
session
Mr., Livernash insisted that the people
of California in this matter were plead
ing not for a privilege, but for right.
The people of the Pacific coast were
particularly interested because they look
cd forward to China and toward the Chi
nesc in the Philippines with apprehen-
sion and suspicion
| While he was, he said. in favor of the
extension of the existing treaty between
the United States and China. which will
expire in 1904 he regarded the effort
| to limit the operation of the proposed
exclusion law to the interval between
the expiration Of the existing law and
! the treaty as a ruse of the opponents OF
| Chinese exclusion. He insisted that
| China could not complain with propriety
of the re-enactment of the exclusion law
because she had not come into the pres
ent proceedings with clean hands. Among
all nations of the Garth, China was 'the
treaty breaker of treaty breakers" He
urged that there was nothing in the
pending measure from which the most
delicate conscience could finch.
Samuel GomDers, the president of the
American Federation of Labor, in briet
statement to the committee said that
the labor interests of the country did not
| insis tupon any action by ongress wChich
| in any way would reflect upon the honor,
good nanto or dignity Of the United
! States.
