I want to say to my friend on the other side that a suggestion has been made frequently in connection with the question of immigration. looking to the inauguration of a system of consular inspectiona general system of inspection to be applied by all our consuls on the other side. That would not be desirable. Mr. Chairman. for this reason. that no man could get a certificate from an American consul to allow him to emigrate to the United States who would be subject to military duty. because an American consul accredited to any European country would have to refuse such a permit to persons who were amenable to the laws of that country.
