We have no city of 200.000 inhabitants. So I am cleared from any local influence in opposing this whole business. The question of immigration is of some national interest and the nation his considerable power over it. but it seems to me that it has a field quite as large as it can take care of when it undertakes to control immigration in Europe. the starting of immigrants. their passage over and their landing. and that itis going some distance to come up into interior States and go down into the lower regions. the slums. as if immigrants from abroad went to slums and nowhere else. I do not think it is necessary in any respect to authorize a new and special investigation of the question of immigration. We have a committee already on that subject. As to the sanitary question. outside of some barely theoretically possible relation to the importation of diseases. the national quarantine laws.
