It is not necessary. andit is uncalled for. and I have to differ with my colleague from Illinois when he says that there is a great demand by the people for this legislation. I deny it. There may be a demand on the part of certain organizations. but not on the part of the people. he fact is that you are proposing to legislate to prohibit immigration that is practically prohibited now. There is little or no immigration at present. Still you are wasting the time of this House over a proposition to :revent immigration. Now. the chairman of the Immigration Committee said that no one could tell what the immigration is going to be after the war. I agree with him. and therefore we ought to wait until after the war to consider it and then pass legislation to regulate iumigration. I want to say to my manufacturing friends and men in business. and those representing the farmers. that it would be a peculiar state of affairs if after the war we had no immigration at all to this country.
