I would not go so far as the Senator from Wisconsin and say that it can have but one effect. I thinc there is a legitimate effectthat is. to require persons coming here from countries that give penal certificates to produce the certificates. so that the immigration officers may have that very easy evidence regarding their character. I have no doubt that that was the intention of the provision. and that it would have that effect. But I think it ought to be guarded so that it will not also produce the other effect that the Senator from Wisconsin suggeots.
