Chairman. it is announeed in the newspapers that the Department of State is quite likely to submit to arbitration the Japanese question. which has troubled Congress and the Senators and Representatives from the Pacific coast for sonic time. This. I assume. would tend to relieve somewhat the necessity for appropriations for inspection with the view of suppressing Japanese immigration. I notice in the item we now have before us. which carries an appropriation of $2.650.000. that provision is made for a variety of inspectors to be engaged in various lines of employment. with a view of ascertaining whether aliens are in this country without warrant of law. and providing for the cost of their arrest. their detention. and their deportation. Now. I would like to know from the chairman of the committee whether the Department of Labor has asked for any more money this year than it received last year for this purpose?
