THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.

President Roosevelt indicated that
this was matter which had to some
extent, already engaged his thought.
In fact, other cotton manufacturers
who have recently visited the White
House, have made somewhat similar
complaint to the Chief Executive. The
President told the delegation today
that as he understood the matter, he
was in accord with their purpose, but
he wanted it clearly known that he
was opposed to the importation Of COO
lie labor into this country. He was
in favor, however, Of allowing Chinese
merchants 20 come to America for the
purpose Of trading. and that he be-
lieved that the proper legislation could
safely discriminate between the class
es of Chinese. This, though, was SIM
ply his personal view, for Congress
was the proper power to deal with
the matter in hand and the Presidents
only duty was to see that the law as
it stands is faithfully executed.
