I would think twice before I should take the trip. But after all the certificate is only prima facie evidence. After obtaining it. a merchant may be refused a landing on the least technicality. Even after landing. his trouble does not end there. While in this country he is liable at any time. if I read this bill correctly. to be arrested and put in jail. just to satisfy the whims of a Treasury or an immigration officer. This is certainly a strange way of liberalizing the existing laws. as is asserted by some Senators this bill proposes. Suppose the conditions were reversed.
