Mr. President. in the place of the House bill. which contains simply one section providing for consular inspection abroad. the Immigration Committee of the Senate substituted the bill which rlates to anarchists. to which there is no objection on the part of the Senator from New Hampshire. and also add a provision for inspection by certain Treasury agents to be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The real and only point of difference between the Senator from New Hampshire and myself in regard to the bill is this: Shall there be the consular inspection. which was provided in the House bill. or shall there be certain Treasury agents to be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury? That is the entire point involved here. I regret that the Senator from New Hampshire sees fit to antagonize the substitute. It is known that for many years he has been in favor of consular inspection. He has given this subject great study. and I am here to acknowledge that the Senate and the country are indebted to him for much valuable service rendered in the perfection of our immigration laws. He has prepared. and mainly and largely through his efforts many good laws relating to the subject have been put upon the statute books. He is entitled to a large share of the credit for what good has been accomplished by those laws. and certainly muck good has been accomplished during the past few years.
