Ex Secretary Foster warns on extending Chinese exclusion
Ex Secretary of State John W. Foster testified before the Senate immigration committee calling the Pacific coast bill a treaty violation. He urged that any law extending Chinese labor exclusion beyond 1904 lacks authority and would breach the 1894 and Burlingame treaties. He also argued exclusion should not apply to U S insular possessions and urged equal treatment under treaty provisions.
