I found that. naturally. there was a great deal of interest as to how active the American delegation would be. We had. of course. the largest delegation from the Western Hemisphere. and all countries were exceedingly anxious to get our viewpoints on the several matters. I also found. much to my surprise. that they understood our position on the question of immigration. and while some of the speakers. as Governor Montague has pointed out. did go so far as to say that. after all. this was a world question. other speakers were very careful to modify such statements by saying that they were discussing immigration from a purely European standpointthat is. the moving of large numbers of. laborers during harvest seasons and things like that. They were careful. I think. not to go too far on that. understanding thoroughly our situation.
