Fifty thousand passages. Then It says that all the north Atlantic shipping companies are asking the American consular officials in Britain to give precedence in the granting of vis s to those who have reserved passage. So the gentlemen of the Immigration Committee rush a rule to hasten legislation for the accommodation of the British steamship companies. Ai. gentlemen. if you are sincere in your desire to stop immigration why do you not provide in this bill for a proper border patrol on the Canadian line? I will tell you why. Because your British companies are bringing in immigrants who are undesirable on British boats. who are smuggled in over the Canidian line. and yet you do not provide in your bill. nor is there provided in the appropriation bills. any means for protecting the Canadian border.
