Mr. President. there appears to be a general concurrence on both sides of the Senate that the American vessels engaged in the fishing business ought. in the main. to be manned by American citizens. either naturalized or native. There is a controversy as to whether they are now so manned and have been in the past. That controversy has been of a somewhat serious character. and information has come to the knowledge of the Senatewhether correct or not. I am not able from personal knowledge to saythat avery largeproportioaof the men employed on the fishing vessels are not citizens of the United States. but that they are employed after coming here from the borders of Canada because they can be employed by the owners of these vessels cheaper than American citizens can afford to work for.
