If the Senator from North Dakota will :refresh his memory .a -bit. -he will recall thatthis -very :phase of the question was discussed in committee. It was suggested that there might possibly be some mental defect that would escape observation either at the time of the foreign inspection or of the American Inspection which the steamship company hereby proposed to be muilcted could not possibly detect. but which might manifest -itself after the im: migrant arrived. I hardly *thhik it wodild be fair to .incorporate a confusing and bungling provision under which -a defect which it was practically impossible for those abroad to detect should be made.the basis of a penalty when in all good .faith the transportation:company was attempting to comply with the provisions ofthe law.
