I share the sentiment expressed by the junior Senator from Massachusetts that there is no purpose to impose hard terms upon the transportation lines doing business between Canada and the United States. There should be no provision of this law which would interrupt the freest possible passage across the border of the citizens of Canada and the United States. The bill is aimed at only one class of those who may seek to cross the Canadian border. and that is those immigrants from noncontiguous countries who may seek to violate the expressed prohibitions contained in the laws of the United States. If the bill presented by the committee is unduly restrictive. if it tends to interrupt the ready communication of citizens of contiguous territory with the United States. I know the committee will be obliged to the gentlemen who raise the question for any suggestions which will make the provisions entirely fair and adequate.
