I understand that in the last Congress. when this same bill passed the House and went to the Senate. the Bureau of Immigration did object to it. mainly on the . -ound that it created a dual service between the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury. As I have said. the law of 1892. which regulates quarantine service. already imposes a similar duty on our consuls. There is no use in sending out additional agents into foreign countries under direction of the Treasury Departmert. none whatever. This service can be performed by the consuls under the State Department. and the only real argument against this bill is that it does restrict immigration if I understand the .efinition of the words. It does throw obstacles in the way of inmigration. it does put restrictions on immigiation. That is one of the things I am trying to do.
