He may not be afflicted with a loathsome or contagious disease. he may be physically defective. but yet not to the extent of affecting either his mental or earning capacity. In that case he is admitted. If he is so physically defective that he is likely to become a public charge. then he is rejected. but the. words "mental or" in this case were stricken out so as not in any way to raise a question or jeopardize the preceding clhuses and sections of the bill which provide for the rejection of an immigrant who is at all mentally defective. The amendment is recommended. for the purpose of clearness. and is designed to restrict that provision to the physically defective. giving the right to determine whether the physical defect affects the immigrants earning capacity. If it does not. as I have said. he comes in. while if it does he is rejected. but if he is mentally defective. as set forth in the first part of the bill where ample provision is made concerning those mentally defective. he is rejected.
