Mr. Chairman. I move to strike out the last word. merely for the purpose of saying that a few moments ago. on the other paragraph. there was more or less discussion in regard to the new Commissioner of Immigration. Whatever may have been the fact. or whatever may be the fact concerning the reasons for his appointment. so far as politics are concerned. whether his appointment was made in conformuity with any agreement in advance or in payment of political service in any way. I think it is absolutely true. it is certainly fair to him to understand it and to state it if it be true. that Mr. Keefe is well qualified for the performance of the duties of that office. and is just as anxious to enforce the Chinese immigration law as the gentleman from New York . whom I do not see just at present in his seat. but who assumed that under the new r6gime that law would not be enforced. I dare say there is no man in the country more anxious to observe the Chinese immigration law or the other labor laws of the country affecting immigration than the Commissioner of Immigration. who stands high in labor circles and who has always through his work shown his ability to perform his work well.
