Diplomats representing the member nations that comprised the Common Market could have reported to their respective governments that they were embarrassed by claims of discrimination from some of their foreign counterparts. But who would contend that those countries were for that reason under any obligation to rescind their trade restrictions which were imposed to serve their own selfinterest? The matter of immigration policy. as with trade policy. is purely a domestic Issue. and has always been treated as such by all countries. It could. of course. be contended that we discriminate against the English. the French. the Italians. and all quota countries because we admit people from the Western Hemisphere without any quota restrictions at all. In a manner of speaking. that is true. But that is a part of our policy. the making of which comes under the head of our own business.
