Further on in this discussion I expect to refer to some: other points which he mentions. and hope to have the letter inserted in the RECORD before the completion of this bill. As I say. all the Chinese and. other- aliens who enter the Pacific Northwest come into this country through Vancouver. The result of that is that we have our immigrant station over on foreign soil. The truth about it is that today this Government is in partnership with the Canadian Pacific Railway. I think it is. discreditable to this Government that the Canadian Pacific- Railway must furnish us the headquarters for- our immigrants and offices for our immigrant officials Not only that-. but another thing. As soon as this war in Europe ends we are expecting a large immigration. into our country. as you are in other portions of the- country. Under the present conditions those imigrants wil come through the Panama Canal in foreign ships. They will not be taken to a Pacific coast port oftheUnited States. but to Vancouver:
