I do not think it is any use to prosecute the investigations by this committee any further. We have received some light as to what they have done by reports in the papers. and it seems to me that any further investigation by this House is. therefore. unnecessary. This committee does not trust the United States. or the officers of the Government who are intrusted with the enforcement of the United States laws. to enforce the laws that are now and have been on the statutebook for the last four years. to prohibit the importation of contract labor into this country. I think if we wait a couple of months. by that time we will have an administration in harmony with the laws on the statutebook--
