Practically all of the Chinese who enter this country today coining into the Northwest are carried over the Canadian Pacific Railviay. Not only that. but if a Chinaman is on his way to eastern Mexico or to the West Indies he comes through Vancouver and is carried by the Canadian Pacific Railway. and. in consideration for this favor the. Canadian Pacific Railway furnishes offices for the force of the American Immigration Service. I called attention to this yesterday. As a part of this agreementwhich I look upon as absolutely discreditable to the United Statesthe whole. Pacific coast service is placed under the Montreal office. across the continent. Not only that. but the Montreal office is now trying to get all of Alaska under its control. and. largely. the purpose of all of it is to benefit the Canadian Pacific Railway. In reading reports of the evidence taken a few days ago before a commission from the Immigration Department to investigate this subject I have been surprised to find that Mr. Clark. the immigration commissioner up at Montreal. appeared before that commission and made an argument in favor of the Canadian Pacific Railway. I do not believe you are going to have the kind of service you ought to have on that border until you get rid of Mr. Clark.
