Seriously. we find literally hundreds upon hundreds of Canadian citizens spending their vacation there. a great many people. for instance. from the city of Winnipeg and from others of the larger towns. This emphasizes the cordial relations now existing between Americans and Canadians. I was interested in ascertaining the kind of immigration and the quantity of immigration that comes from Canada. I know from personal knowledge. of course. that the farmers that we have living in North Dakota who 20 and 30 and 40 years ago emigrated into the United States from Canada are among the thriftiest. the ablest. the most capable farmers that we can find anywhere in that country. The same is true of the business men. So I was interested. as I say. in determining something about the type of immigration that we are getting now and the quantity of it. and I took those questions up with Mr. Hull. Commissioner General of Immigration. and he sent me an interesting table which gives detailed information. and at an appropriate place I would like to have it inserted in the record. I find from this table that in the fiscal year ended- July 1. 1925. there were admitted into the United States 100.895 immigrants whose permanent residence was in Canada. lu 1926 the number was 91.019. and in the fiscal year 1927 the number was 81.506. I have stated that these were Immigrants whose permanent residence was in Canada. Yon will note the fact that that does not mean that all of them came in outside of the quota. because some of these. though permanent residents of Canada. were born in other countries. Such would be charged under present laws to the quota of the country of their birth.
