ada and on the Pacific Coast, / person
ally visited the Hawaiian Islands, and
saw for myself something of the effect
of these laws upon the occupations of
the people. AS the result of this ex-
perienee and of the best consideration
| have been able to give the subject,
/ believe that special attention should
be directed to the question of immi-
grafton into the insular possessions of
the United States. The conditions pc
culiar to these several possessions should
be taken into account and provided for.
1.-THE significance of the term 'Un-
desirable Classes, when applied to
immigrants, with a view to elimina-
ton by exclusion, NAV differ materially
according to the needs of the locality
in question In the East, the main OBJ
lection to the greatly increased immi-
grafton during the past decade arises
from the congestion and consequent
evils caused thereby in our large Allan
tic seaport cities In the West, the
question of Chinese immigration pre-
sents problem of long standing.
POLICY LONG STANDING.
f'The present policy of the United
States toward Chinese immigration has
existed for nearly generation. A gov
ernmental policy so long pursued is not
to be lightly changed, nor is it the pres
ent purpose to suggest any change, so
far as the spirit of the policy is con-
cerned. What | would urge is not only
based on a full recognition of the fixed
character of the present policy, but is
entirely in furtherance of it. 1t is
only suggested that the letter of the
law, as expressed and enforced today,
may not be so effectively and harmon
iously in accord with the spirit of the
policy as it might be, 1t is not the
policy of the government with refer
ence to Chinese immigration, but the
manner in which it is, of necessity,
carried out, by reason of the way in
which the laws are framed. that causes
constant friction and dissatisfaction.
1T has been the policy of this gov
eminent, as would appear from its laws
and treaties, to exclude persons of the
Chinese race merely because they are
