Chairman. whenever the question of establishing stations for the protection of these people when they arrive in this country hats been discussed. I have always been in favor of liberal appropriations. I was sorry a few days ago. when some gentlemen who take the contrary view as to restriction were opposing the construction of an immigration station at Baltimore which would have been adequate for the care of the arriving aliens. When they come. and come voluntarily. I want our country to present to them the best conditions that we have. I do not believe in stimulating immigration. We all deprecate. as we claim. stimulate(] hnilgration. and yet that very idea is involved In the question of distribution. It is stimulating the distribution of these people to sections of the country that they themselves are not seeking. .and 1. for one. desire now to say that whenever an effort is made either to compel the General Government to pay any part of the maintenance of the insane from other countries or to pay any part of the expense of distributing them into other sections of the country.
