God forbid that the United States shall have to solve such a problem in the next thousand years. A short time ago Mr. Hill lind a scheme to fill both sides of our boundary line. from St. Paul to Seattle. with Hindu laborers. to work at40 cents or 50 cents a day. That proposed importation of Asiatic labor was stopped only through the prodigious efforts of the present Commissioner General of Immigration. Mr. Caminetti. aided by leading citizens of the Pacific Northwest. who induced the steamship companies to cease bringing Hindus until some legislation. as proposed in section 3 of this bill. So much for the Asiatic question.
