I do not think it is a matter which they should decide. If there was any other way to decide it. It is a condition. The great steamship lines ply between New York and all European ports. and we have no control over them as to where they shall land within the boundaries of the United States. It might be desirable to distribute these immigrants at the different ports all along the Atlantic seaboard. but it would be difficult Indeed to compel the steamship lines to go to these ports. because their business does not take them there. and some of the other harbors are not sufficiently deep to allow the larger steamships to enter them.
