Mr. President. I am not particularly solicitous about the welfare of alien labor. but I take it that when laborers are brought there under contract and herded within the Panama Zone they can not quit very well. and they will be pretty nearly in the condition of serfs. within ad limited area of country. with wide seas between them and the homes that they left. I am inclined to think that unless the restraining and protecting arm of the Government is extended toward them in some degree. especially if the canal is to be built under contract. they will have to endure a great deal of unnecessary suffering. Mr.
