The failure of this bill to pass will be almost a calamity to our country. Mr. Speaker. this war has already taught us a valuable lesson. which is that our greatest national safeguard lies in our sticking closer together as a people. selfish though it be.. and that we should "sharpen our wits" to help each other rather than to open our markets and our opportunities for employment too much for the benefit of the people of other lands. All of which. to my mind. vindicates the wisdom of the policies both of protection and of restriction of foreign immigration.
