Newfoundland. Cuba. and Mexico--adjoining the United States. and takes as the basis for the quota four times the number of Americans that departed into those countries. In the first place. that is such a ridiculous basis to take for a quota of immigration that it is not worthy of being called a basis of quota. It was taken simply in order to get some figures as to Canadian immigration to which Lobody would object. from the number that is permitted to come in here. but It goes further. and fixes the quota for other Sout:. American countries on the basis of the number of people who have been coming from those countries to the United States. So. if we adopt the Gould substitute. we have one basis for the quota from other parts of the world.
