His theory is to have the inspection before embarkation. That would necessitate the employment of a physician and the furnishing of the machinery to this end. Now. in addition to that. if we have a system of careful inspection here. where the officers are under the jurisdiction and control. and under the eye and in direct responsibility to the people of the United States. would not that cast the burden upon the steamship companies that are bringing these people over here in violation of our laws because of their cupidity and their promotion of immigration? Would they not be compelled in selfdefense to see. before these immigrants are embarked at all. that they will not be likely to be rejected here.
