As a result there was and has been a continually increasing influx of those peoples to these shores of ours. The conditions therefore were changed. and we were brought face to face with a problem that our fathers never faced and that in their wisdom they never apprehended. We started to curtail Chinese immigration. Challenged as this legislation was. it was examined with great care and it was formulated in a law which I undertake to say. while it was not entirely satisfactory to the people more immediately interested. was a law with which they would have been reasonably content provided it had been enforced. But I undertake to affirm in this presence that that law is excellent as a story in the books but is not a fact in our social or commercial history.
