Phelan Hearings Highlight Pacific Coast Immigration Sentiment
James P D Phelan, ex mayor of San Francisco and California commissioner in Washington, testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He cited referendums, a unified press, a united congressional delegation, and a broad exclusion convention as overwhelming Pacific Coast sentiment against Chinese immigration. He noted opponents including the Pacific Mail Steamship Co, Canadian railways, Chinese diplomats, and certain attorneys and missionaries who backed renewing the Geary law for two years, while the 1894 treaty would lapse. He argued Chinese defense attorneys seek two-year renewal, claiming a Supreme Court decision made exclusion ineffective.
