I just want to suggest to my colleague that the State Department has gone on record in line with the implication in his interrogatory. in connection with the head tax. when the then Secretary of State advised the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization that it would be unwise to attempt to exempt residents of Canada from the head tax in the immigration bill. because of the mostfavorednation clause of the treaties. and because of that the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization first. and this Congress afterwards. made that particular exemption apply to any alien who happened to reside in Canada for one year.
