I know that the United States. -by reason of its tremendous influence with the 20 Republics in the western world. over a number of which it exercises an absolute protectorate. would be far more potent. even in the assembly of the League of Nations. than the British Empire if all the six dominions of the British Empire voted in solidarity. But I know very well that some of those votes of the British colonies will be much more likely. if a question arises. to take .the view of the United States than to take the view of Great Britain. Take the matter of immigration. for instance. Suppose immigration becomes a question before the League of Nations. and suppose in some way it gets into the assembly. How will Canada vote. if Canada has a vote? Canada holds exactly the same views that the United States holds on the subject of Asiatic immigration. Great Britain does not. Great Britain would like to have some of the Asiatics under her dominions permitted to come to the Western Hemisphere. Canada will not admit them. Canada refused Chinese immigration and Japanese immigration. and upon the subject of Asiatic immigration Canada holds exactly the same views that the United States holds. So does Australia. that great independent nation in the Southern Seas. I yield to the Senator from Wisconsin.
