Speaker. this resolution (H. J. Res. 500) by virtue of the provisions of section 2 thereof proposes an entirely new policy of restricting immigration to this country from our great friendly neighbor to the north of us. the Dominion of Canada. In the guise of unemployment relief it seeks to shut the door to the Canadian immigrant who under our present laws can freely enter. by providing that only 10 per cent of last years total of Canadian immigrants may be admitted. In my opinion this is neither wise nor just. It is not wise because it is a complete reversal of a policy of over a hundred years of unbroken international friendship and mutual cooperation and friendliness between two great nations that has won the admiration of the world.
