In view of the people who -volunteered in India to fight. and did fight. that any Member of this body who. along with many other Americans. who have the right to have that opinion. thought that Japan would never go to war with the United States. should now arise and criticize Gandhi or the people of India who thought they could do things by peaceful means. Finally. I am" surprised that any man who represents a constituency which is composed of people who have come into this country in one of the later waves of immigration should now begin to declare that Caucasian people with whom we desire to do world trade should not be admitted. I am surprised that anyone who is so interested in the St. Lawrence seaway would not understand that unless you have world trade you do not carry any traffic on seaways.
