I will read what the minority says: We are thus discouraging the very kind of immigration that. by general consent. should be encouraged. and to that extent assisting the vigorous efforts being made by the Canadian government to divert immigration to that country. Southern Italy. which is said to be undesirable. sent 16.000 children under 14 years of age. The Scandinavians sent only 6.000 under 14 years of age. The Irish sent only 2.500 under 14 years of age. What becomes of your argument that these races which by general consent are said to be the most desirable will have to pay a great deal more on account of large families?
