Shall Canada be placed upon a quota? I was greatly pleased the other day to listen to the Senator from Idaho and the Senator from Virginia [Mr. Sw\.AsorN] in their opposition to singling out Mexico as the only country to whom an immigration quota should be applied. Those Senators are both members of the great Committee on Foreign Relations. They realize the importance of dealing fairly with other countries. and very properly they objected to designating Mexico for special discrimination. All that I seek to accomplish is that Congress shall treat Mexico and Canada and the independent nations of Central and South America with complete uniformity. Let the. same rule be adopted for all and none of those countries can have objection. They can not deny the right of the United States to impose a uniform immigration quota upon them. I do insist that they should all be treated exactly alike. It is not what we do. but how we do it. that makes all the difference in the world.
