What instrumentalities have we employed in order to enforce the law? We have established the standaid of admission into the United States so that it is theoreticallytrue. anyhow. that everybody can understand just what the qualifications are. but when an alien presents himself at one of the ports of the United States. how do we determine whether or not he conforms to the standard which the law has created? We commit the finding of that fact to the Commissioner of Immigration. and finally to the Secretary of the Department of Labor. and there is no act that can be. performed by the trade commission under this section that is more judicial in its character than the determination upon the part of the Commissioner of Immigration or the Secr&tary of the Department of Labor as to the admissibility of an alien. and yet it is not contended that the Commissioner of inmigration is exercising judicial powers in fitting the standard to the particular case under consideration. Again. we ]lave certain laws with regard to the mailability of matter offered to the United States for transportation through the mails. In some respects they are more uncertain than the words " unfair competition" possibly can be.
