I think under the fiveminute rule we will find that the appropriations for the Ellis Island immigration station. amounting to many hundred thousands of dollars. ought to be made in whole or in part not only for the protection of the immigrant but of our citizens as well. I call attention to it that gentlemen may investigate it in the meantime. There are many other items that I might refer to. but one matter of omission is the dropping out of the item for the Tariff Board.
