At any rate. I think it is a bad policy. The people of Canada and the people of the United States are so similar in their ancestry. their habits. and their methods of life. that to me it is unthinkable that we should set up a quota system. In the section of the country from which I come tremendous numbers of our citizens are Canadian born. and in British Columbia an equally great number of people are American born. In fact. many of the officials of British Columbia are American born. We do not know that there is a boundary line. so far as our relations are concerned. and we do not want to set up any artificial quota system that will prevent our people crossing back and forth freely so far as the nativeborn citizens are concerned.
