Mr. Chairman. I regret exceedingly to have to differ with my distinguished colleague and friend from Iowa. but I think the amendment offered by him would be disastrous to the whole matter. Under such an amendment designing parties. those who are really importing labor to this country could get up advertisements very adroitly worded so as to show the advantages to the prospective immigrant in coming here. and if the immigrant came to this country by reason of such advertisement setting forth the great advantages to be derived by a residence in the United States. under the law. as it will be if amended by my friend from Iowa. we could not do anything to him. and consequently the whole section would be nullified. I hope the amendment will not prevail.
