Mr. President. the point that has been .troubling me in regard to the immigration question has been the anxiety on the part of the steamship companies to bring as many immigrants as possible to the United States. so that they might collect the transportation fee. If the report of the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration is correct. they have distributed circulars throughout Europe and have had men traveling all over the various countries who were getting commissions for selling tickets and encouraging immigrants to come to the United States. Now you propose to put an* examiner on board the vessel. He makes an examination. and diseased people. who are prevented under sections 2 and 9 from coming to the United States. escape the examiner and land in the United States.
