On the contrary. I will quote the authority that Ireferred to awhile ago. that I think is the highest authority there is on this question. I quote the distinguished president of the sailors union. He says that the Japanese will desert. He thinks that thereby he will be enabled to increase wages at all Pacific ports. I think there is no questioi that they will desert. This bill leaves it wide open anywhere in the United States for any sailor to come in. leave his vessel. and evade our immigration laws. That is one of the beauties of this bill.
