Canada can embarrass us in the Newfoundland fisheries and in the Alaska fisheries. and. in fact. in the struggle over the furnishing of bait at Prince Rupert. British Columbia. the western terminal of the Grand Trunk Railroad. we got into a very delicate state of argument with Canada. Our consuls continually come in contact with the Canadians in the large cities who want a visa or a passport to enter the United States. A great number of other aliens also are awaiting their turn. When the consulates are not supplied with enough clzikc they are possibly apt to get overworked and become irritable and to offend powerful Canadians.
