a year as compared with an aver- j age for previous years of 50,000.The j decrease is regarded as justifying the State Department\u2019s contention which was advanced by Secretary of State Kellogg i the time several bills were being j oshed in Congress for putting Latin America on a quota basis that immigration from this continent couli be taken care of otherwise.The figures are especially interesting in crnnection with the measure of Repi isentative Albert Johnson, of Washington, to restrict immigration from American countries to a maximum of 50,000 a year.The maximum under existing quotas is now about 155,000 for the rest of the world.If Mexico alone were to be considered under the Johnson proposals, it was pointed out today, the limitation to a maximum of 50,000 would not affect existing immigration.The total for the last fiscal year from all non-quota countrie., including Canada and Latin America, however, was 98,000, and of this number the Canadian total was 51,670.Officials are convinced, therefore, that the proposed 50,000 maximum restriction would operate most severely on Canada.The new policy with respect to Latin America visns dates officially as from February, 1929, when a conference of American consuls J Always with Races* Never did Bacon taste so good as when served with a little H.P.\u2014 the Sauce that\u2019s always appetising and enjoyable.M®' m m It SAUCE WATERLOO NEWS AND PERSONALS FROM VICINITlf General Notes of Interest front Waterloo and Neighborhood., WATERLOO, Que., Dec.7\u2014The ference of American consuls in ; annual ™eeti^\tnir* Mexico was held in Mexico City for ( sionary Society vas held at the par- t!16 p,,,'POSe of emphasizing the de-\t3rd.M.f Pelmr conducted Since Mexico is the only Latin ; en®jingA ^ear-American country which has any !
