reason for wishing to establish some kind of
customs union with Canada. In order to
avoid the new immigration law our lmmi-

perhaps furnish a fairly adequate remedy,
but tor the future it may not. Even now
people OF the Pacific Coast are complaining
that a great number of Cinnamon are landed

serve the American territory for the highest
American civilization by preventing the col

other countries, we must secure Canadian

believe there was much made in going to

been his experience that it cost more
than 1t was worth. If you take the
case In the courts and get an injunction you
are allowed 500 for every time an infring-
