I am very desirous of seeing the bill proposed by the Senator from Indiana become a law. but we have the fortifications bill before the Senate. and I might say parenthetically that the bill he proposes to call up is a fortifications bill. so to speak. It fortifies the people of this country from the great inroads of peon and contract labor from Japan and other countries of the Orient. Ships are under contract to bring contract laborers from the Azore Islands. I think there is no measure of more importance. Certainly it is a proper fortifications bill. and I should like to see it added to the pending bill.
