Mr. Speaker. that if this resolution is unhappily enacted into law it will breed distrust and suspicion where none exists now. it will make for friction between the two nations and inevitably result in incidents that will endanger if they do not interrupt the long years of friendly intercourse of the past. What have we to fear from a continuance of the present unrestricted Canadian immigration? Some say it is necessary to relieve unemployment. That is not so and the advocates of this resolution know it. The fact of the matter is there is no ground for fear of any kind. What is the matter with the type of immigrant coming from Canada that the advocates of this legislation are so impatient to put them under the ban? For my part I know of no complaint against the Canadian in the part of New England from which I come. and I dare say other Members of Congress from that section will gladly testify to the same effect. The distinguished gentleman from Vermont . a member of the committee. says in his minority report opposing this resolution that in his own State are mnany splendid citizens who came from Canada.
