Speech #590163044

I will read the part. On page 31. about the middle of the first paragraph. after the semicolon following time word " Congress." are these words: And the President of the United States is alo authorized. in the name of the Government of the United States. to call. in his discretion. an international conference. to assemble at snch point as may be agreed upon. or to send special comnnissioners to any foreign country for the purpose of regulating by international agreenent. subject to the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States. the emigration of aliens to the United States. of providing for the menial. moral. and physical examination of such aliens by American consuls or other officers of the United States Government at tlh ports of em1barkation. or elsewhere. of secnring tie assistance of I.reigin governments in their own territories to prevent the evasion of thei laws of the United States governing immigration. to he United" States. of entering into such international agreements as may 1)e proper to prevent the emigration of aliens who. under the laws of the United States. are or may be excluded front entering the United States.and of tegulating any matters pertaining to such emigration. The ground upon which I base the criticism that that is It violation of the rule which governs "tnd should govern iouference committees is that there is not iii either the Senate bill or the House bill the remotest reference to any such provision of law. and it is most important and drastic and farreacling provision. the limits of which it is very difficult for its to realize until it has been put in l)ractical operation and we see what power is assumed to be exercised under it.
