Chairman. I lhope that the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio will be adopted. I do not think this House ought to go into the prohibition business and deny to these people the mild beverages which are now being sold at the immigration stations under the supervision and control of the United States authorities. Certainly no disorder of any sort would be permitted there. either by the local authorities or by the authorities of the United States. I think that an amendment such as that offered by the gentleman from Kansas [M . BowERsocK] would smack very much of prohibition and would look like an interference with the local laws of New York and of any other State in which these immigration stations may be located. I therefore hope that the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio to the amendment of the gentleman from Maine will be adopted.
