FIXED AMERICAN POLICY Chinese Deemed Laborers Who re not Officials, Teachere Student, Mechanic ami Traveler. WASHINGTON. April 4. Mr, Kit ehell, In beginning, Mid that the pol icy of the Chines exclusion Imd be- mnu one of the nwwt policies of thla country acquired In 1y all polit ical parlies and a firmly fixed a the M.mro,' dotitrine. It Is a policy baaed uin the m-nral welfare, upon the principle of protection to American la bor and up.m the doctrine of protection fttfulnm nxinw Infection of the insti tutions which constitute American K-lllxatiin. The bade principle of (he pending bill were embodied In ex isting U-rt.ilailon and such addition aa hait btwn prnmaed were approved by Mperenc and were In accord with the decisions r the court The framers ,,r i In. mMnure had endeavored to make It aa effective an possible as restrictive measure while keeping steadily in view all neceaaary means irf iiroteetlon ajralns fraud. An effort hn hrn made to llberollxe those pro visions relating to the exempted class. es. No radical dearture was propos ed from the statutes now In opera Hon the bill being a virtual codiflcji; tlon of the existing laws and regula tlons concerning the admission to this ciunlrv of Chinese Persia. The aim of the frnmr was caivfully to avoid anything which mlifht five Just cause for on":n to the Chinese Kmpire and to an extent at least. It was a more liberal measure, so far us the exempt ed das were concerned than that which Is now on the statute lawks. Mr. Mitchell than entered on an ex tended analysis of the proposed nias lire .making his explanation of Its provisions In the light of the decisions of the highest courts relating to Chi nese exclusion which have been re- liveti'd since' the enactment of the Geary act. The theory on which the measure was constructed, he said, 1 not thai all Chi tut) persons who are not prohibited ,may enter this coun try; but upon the contrary, the legis lation iMvceeds upon the theory that only those are allowed to enter who are especially unwed. Tnererore, every Chinese person shall be deemed laborer, within the meaning of the bill, who is not an .'IHclnl, a teacher, a merchant or a traveller for pleas ure. Referring to the regulations in the measure for rhe prevention of fraud, Mr. Mitchell said 'that no... one could question successfully the au thority of congress to establish and enforce all necessary rules which would operate as statutory safeguards against fraud and which would teat properly the good faith of Chinese persons claiming to belong to one or anotner of the exempted olmasea. Ha held that this government never would ibarter away Its Inalienable right to Inhibit the coming to thla country of any class of people from any country on earth, If In the judgment of congress such persons would be objectionable. Mr. Mitchell expressed the belief that the constitutionality of the proposed meas ure could not be challenged successful "It is In tine," he said, "with the overwhelming aentiment of this coun try. It is not -when viewed from the proper standpoint, In conflict with? any existing treaty stipulations between the United Statea and China. Even if H were, this could be urged only aa a policy objections and not one that for a moment would go to any lack of power In congress under the consti tution to enact a law. It Is leglsla.. (ton not only In line with public sen timent of this country, but also with the established policy of this govern ment" He pointed out that China had as sented to the policy of exclusion and had not regarded such a policy on the part of the United States as hostile to the Empire of China. Further along, Mr. Mitchell said the proposed legislation, "la but another grand step forward by this republic In the majestic and progressive march of true Americanism, which looks to protection of 'American labor and to th preservation, purity and perpetu ity of American Institution It Is a grand step In the decUlon (of freeing our people and our Institutions from the corrupting and corroding influ ences of pauprr labor' and those viru lent and destructive vices so Insepar ably connected with the lower classes of Aslatln serfdom and whose poison ous virus Is permitted to permeat our body politics, Inveltsbty will lead to lamentable blight, pitiable decay and ultimate destruction. No higher duty rests upon the national congress than to guard with scrupulous care and un tiring vigilance th doors which stand between us and foreign nation, to the end that no classes of people of any nation whatever be permitted to enter whose presence. In the Judgment of the American congress, would be a menace to the virile growth and preservation of these institutions which ' go to make our republic what it Is today, the most healthy and vigorous,' moral ly, intellectually and otherwise, of any nation that baa ever lived since the be ginning of time.
