I will give you the benefit of what a statesman says ought to be done. If for any reason one of the houses of the Canadian parliament has not passed such an act. then they have an opportunity of redeeming themselves. The telegram continues: The Chinese report presented to parliament today covers over 800 pages of typewriting. The conclusion which the commissioners arrive at is that Chinese retard white immigrants. who would make good citizens and settlers. It is said that the presence of Chinese is dangerous to the industrial peace of the community where they reside. They carry away to their own country all their earnings. and spend little or nothing in Canada.
