Mr. Speaker. I did not expect that this socalled Chicago immigration station was to be discussed here. The fact is. however. that the administration is Republican. The only activity and the only information conveyed to the Congress about the necessity for an immigration station at Chicago is that which has originated from the Chicago Club and the two gentlemen from Illinois who have spoken here today. While the head of the department has written them letters. no estimate has ever been submitted to the Congress. and no official communication of any kind has been submitted to the Congress. If there be any criticism for the failure of the legislative body to act. it falls upon those charged with the responsibility of informing the House of the necessities of the public service. and they are Republican officials.
