Mr. Speaker. as a member of the Immigration Commission I desire to say that so far as I know there is no opposition on the part of the Commission to this request from the House.- We have already the authority to do this work under the existing law. and I think I ought to say. in justice to the members of the Commission who are not members of this House. that very probably we would do it in any event. but. of course. our Commission would pay especial attention to a request from this body. While I am on my feet I want to make what is in the nature of a personal statement. In relation to this subject of peonage I possess as profound ignorance as any gentleman in this House.
