Some of them are amusing. as I think you will conclude. I find here a carriage trip to Bethany from Jerusalem. Did you ever hear of any immigration coming to this country from Bethany that would be poisonous or deleterious to the social conditions of this country. I never did. and yet they took a business trip to Bethany to investigate Immigration conditions. or else they did it for pleasure. and if they took It for pleasure. then it was at the expense of the Government. and they had no more right to do it than I have to take a hack ride in this city at the expense of the Government if I should care to ride over it for pleasure. They had a trip to Bethlehem from Jerusalem to investigate immigration conditions. a carriage journey to Joppa to investigate immigration conditions. a carriage trip to the ambassadors and return in London to investigate immigration conditions In that august embassy. a trip to the House of Lords. Gentlemen. do you think it necessary to go to the House of Lords to investigate immigration conditions? If you do. then I do not understand why We should not throw the gates wide open and permit citizens from every country to come to our shores if we are going to permit members of the House of Lords to come. They went there for the pnrpose of investigating these lordly gentlemen in order to benefit immigration conditions in this country. of course.
