Now. Mr. Speaker. this is simply and solely a proposition to change the statute so as to deal with conditions under which immigrants are coming to our shores. In other words. to provide that the immigrant who leaves his own shore in good health shall not have his health ruined in transit to this country by being ilmproperly housed and not being properly cared for. That is all there is to it. and the prevalence of the motion made by the gentleman from New York will lead to a modification of the statute so as to better the conditions of every immigrant brought to our shores. That is the simple and sole question. as I understand from what I have heard of this discussion and from what I gather from reading the report that the majority and the minority made on this bill. It seems to me. under those circumstances. that there ought to be a substantially unanimous vote for the adoption of the motion made by the gentleman from New York .
