Chinese Immigration

            As was anticipated, Sifton’s assisted immigrants are becoming a burden to the people of Canada.  They are not self-supporting and are devoid of all manhood.  Surely the experience of the United States government with the pauper immigrants of Europe should not have been lost on Canada.  Today the greatest problem with which the Republic has to deal is how best to minimize the evil effects of this foreign immigration.  In many of the States of the Union the native born citizen of the United States is an alien in his own land.  In several States the naturalized foreigner defeats the will of the native at the polls, and foreigners who have no sympathy with the aspirations of the native-born Americans are elected to office.  Their votes are merely a commercial commodity, to be bought and sold, and in times of war they refuse to undertake the responsibilities of citizenship.  Foreign laborers are no better than slaves.  They have not been educated to the ideals of British and American workmen.  They will work for little more than their board and when they have grievances they do not seek to redress them through the ordinary processes of the courts of the land, but resort to dynamite and other death-dealing explosives.
