REJECTION OF GOULD PLAN Tloston Transcript rieased at Defeat of Amendment Which Would Have Placed Canada on a Quota Basis BOSTON, May 10 The Boston Evening Transcript rejoices editorially in the rejection by the United States of the Oould Am endment to the Harris Immigration Bill placing Canada on a quota basis. "Senator Gould's peculiar flour ish toward a restriction of immigration from Canada, which he could not seem to explain himself. did not amount to much, but it out the Senate on record as un willing to do any more toward ex iting the enmity of a friendly neighbor. The Maine statesman offered an amendment to the Har- 1s Immigration to place Canada on a quota basis, and then he irosc and explained that It did not mean anything, as the annual immigration from the Dominion is 1 9.000. whereas under his amend ment 67D0O persons might be ad- rlmftted. The Senate by a vote of 29 to 37, could see nothing in the Oould amendment, and the incident was closed. Whatever of inarticulate emotion may have inspired Senator Gould to submit his amendment, the Senate accurately reflected public ODlnlon In voting that free trade in citizens between Canada and the United States is a ccndltlon which the people of this country desire to continue. The Canadian Club of Boston and other organizations which have protested against the roily of throwing more causes oi friction into the American-Canadian hopper are to be congratu-'atrd upon having achieved their end.
