At this place on the chart is shown the Western Hemisphere. This bill seeks to deal with the Western Hemisphere. Up to this time we have had no quotas on the Western Hemisphere. Canadians and Mexicans come in without restriction whatever. except as to health. criminal records. and other requirements of a similar character. A few days ago Canada issued an edict calling for a total suspension of immigration into Canada for two years. I want to say to you that our bill provides for a 90 per cent suspension for two years. They have gone further than we have on this question of restriction.
