Before I leave this subject I wish to define my own feelings in regard to the admission of Chinese labor. why I have always been opposed to it. why I am opposed to it now. and why I think we ought to have thorough. straightforward. honest. and effective legislation in regard to it. As I was stating when interrupted. I am in favor of Chinese exclusion. because the Chinese can create economic conditions in which we can not survive. It is not the question of the fittest surviving. but a question of the survival of the fittest to survive. The best do not necessarily survive. and here we have a people 450.000.000 strong. who can produce an environment and a standard under which we can not live. Every people which has been actually threatened with serious Chinese immigration has shut or tried to shut the door against them. Australia will not let them in. and the Australians are people of our own kin and blood. Canada is agitating very wisely. as I think. to shut them out with a capitation tax which amounts to absolute exclusion.
