Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from New York and the gentlemen from New York on the other side of the House all agree that an evil exists in the matter of the naturalization of aliens in the city of New York. They express themselves in a manner that indicates to me that they know something about it themselves. hence I am inclined to believe that it would be absolutely unnecessary to appoint a committee of three. five. or any other number to visit the city of New York and find out if those conditions do exist there. If these gentlemen are already informed about them. I do not believe it is right to run your hand into the coffers of the Treasury of the people and take from it money to pay the expenses of a commission or a committee to go to New York or elsewhere to investigate evils that gentlemen who reside in the city or in the community where the evil exists are so well informed about.
