Speaker. the very form of this bill I think ought to defeat it. The proposition involved is that a law that is now in existence shall be superseded or suspended until some other law in the dim and distant future shall be passed. This is just the reading of the bill: That until the provisions of section 12 of the Immigration act of February 20. 1907. relating to outward alien manifests. shall be made applicable to passengers going out of the United States to Canada by land carriage. said provisions shall not apply to passengers going by vessels employed exclusively In the trade between the ports of the United States and the Dominion of Canada and the Republic of Mlexico. Mr. Speaker. the form of the bill Itself ought to condemn it. as I say. and then the bill itself Is wrong.
