I have no hesitation in saying to the Senator that. so far as I am concerned. I am perfectly willing to go a step farther. I think the United States has a right to select the race and the nationality in the type of immigrants who come into this country. It is my judgment that they should be mainly of those types that can be most readily absorbed in the great national stream of our American life. I am frank to say that. in so far as Canada is concerned. no earthly reason can be advanced from a racial standpoint why they would not be readily absorbed and amalgamated into American citizenship. and. if an amendment shall be offered to my amendment on the point suggested. so far as I am concerned.
