We have the basis of four times the number of Americans who have gone fromr this country into these four countries adjoining as the second basis of quota. and then we have the number who came from South American and Central American countries into the United States. There could not be ranker discrimination than to set up these special quotas to meet our own arbitrary demands and desires as to these people coming into the United States. I recognize that placing a quota of 67.000 on Canada will not greatly limit for many years to come the number of people that come into this country from Canada. but it will set up a system of red tape on the part of the immigration officials along the Canadian border that will tend to cause friction in crossing the border. There is not any demand for it. There Is not any need for it.
