Mr. Speaker. I think the House and the country are very much indebted to the gentleman from New York and to the Immigration Commission for presenting to the country the startling information which has been made public concerning the traffic in socalled "white slaves." The whiteslave traffic. while not so extensive. is much more horrible than any blackslave traffic ever was in the history of the world. and every effort ought to be made by Congress within its constitutional powers to stop the traffic and punish those who endeavor to engage in it. But. Mr. Speaker. it is as important in making legislation that we endeavor to provide legislation which will be effective. and not merely be a personal advertisement for ourselves. as it is to enact the legislation at all.
