It will cost a half a million dollars. and that sum we appropriate every year for the exclusion of the Chinese alone. and I apprehend the work of this commission will be of more value to the country than has come under that provision of the law in twenty years. We never have had in the history of this Government any authoritative examination of the whole question of immigration as it affects the whole countryall of the States. all the branches of society. and all the branches of business. The commission is carrying on the work In a scientific way. It presented a report to Congress Saturday last. which is now in the hands of the printer. and I will be very glad. indeed. to have every Senator read it. This provision was in the House bill and went out on a point of order. If the amendment is not adopted. I judge from the hasty reading that I have made of the bill that. while the Bureau of Immigration will go on with its work administering the law. the work expressly authorized by Congress and now being conducted by the commission will fall to the ground and never be completed.
