Mr. President. I think it would be a very serious mistake to almend the law lis proposed. There has been a recognized evil in this country. which grew out of the wholesale importation of labor from abroad. that became a menace to the labor at home. Ther is every reason for the public sentiment in this country against the importation of contract labor. either skilled or unskilled. of a manual character. but there is no sentiment in this country against acquiring cfti zens from abroad who will add to the productive capacity of this country by reason of the mental ability which they bring to us.
