Similar conditions have existed in New England: I have in my mind now the establishment in Connecticut of a lace factory. the mcbliuery for which was purchased in Europe. and there was nobody in this country who was capable of putting that machinery in operation and instructing those who were to have charge of it. There was ho way of determining in advance whether a person hinported for that purpose would! be rejected under our laws until after the person came here and the question was rlised upon his arrival. For that reason when tho immigration bill was drafted two or three years ago a provision was incorporated under which that question might be raised in advance and be presented to the Secretary of Commerce with the proof. so that his action. might be determined before the person was imported. In that way it would save the embarrassment. and the expense as well. of bringiig a person. to this country and having the matter determined after lie came here. Of course if the question. were determined against him lie would be deported. and he would not. only suffer. disappointnient but incur expense. It occurred to tie while the Senator was- speaking that that little clause was met with in this provision. and that in the case he mentioned there vould be no difileulty in applyin.g to the Secretary for. permission. making a showing. and bringing- in. -tile skilled overseer or superintendent to whoin the Senator hasreferred.
