when he declared "that the native of India is not a person suited to
this country"? If the native Hindu is "not a person suited to
Canada"--climate, soil, moisture, what not?--why isn't that fact
sufficient to exclude the Oriental without any legislation? Italians
never go to live at the North Pole. Nor do Eskimos come to live in the
tropics. You may ask questions about Hindu immigration till you are
black in the face. Unless you go out on the spot to the Pacific Coast,
the most you will get for an answer is a "hush." And it would not be
such an impossible situation if the other side were also going around
with a finger to the lip and a "hush"; but the Oriental isn't. The Hindu
