Mrn Chairman. there has been a great deal of discussion in connection with this measure. and while I am not opposed to the bill. I do believe there have been arguments advanced here that are rather indefinite. particularly the arguments made by the chairman of the Immigration Committee. A few minutes ago I asked the gentleman from California to yield to me. which he did. I directed a question to the chairman of the Immigration Committee asking him to tell us something of the law he claims exists in the Dominion of Canada and in Mexico which prohibits Americans from being employed in Canada and likewise in Mexico. Prior to advancing this argument the gentleman had stated that he wanted to clarify everything. If this measure is going to be enacted Into law and we are going to predicate our action today upon a false premise. this is a good time to know whether or not that premise is false.
