There is no provision for any quota of immi- grants in the scheme. Complete control will rest with the Governor in Council and conditions of en- try to persons without valid documents of entry can be made more strict at any time to suit circumstan- Pressure can also be, brought to bear on any class of traffic, whether by steamer (river or ocean going), junk or ferry, whenever Government con- siders it necessary to do so.
