President. I do not wish to discuss the laborcontract feature of the bill further than to say that I think that practically every American is opposed to the adimission to our shores of laborers who have made contracts in foreign countries to engage in employment in our domestic industries. I do not know of anyone who favors any relaxation or modification of the restrictions upon that character of immigration. I think it is safe to say. and it ought to be. that every political party in this country is committed to the policy of restricting and to the policy of maintaining these restrictions against the introduction of foreign contract labor. It is alost as fixed a policy in American public opinion as the Monroe doctrine. it is universal. That is all I care to say about that phase of the question which has so far occupied tile Senate in this discussion.
