President. if this is humanity and is the humanitarian doctrine which would characterize this bill. then may the good dnd kindly God save me from that kind of humanity! Let us see. The present law is to this effect: There shall be an inspection at European ports. but if a physician there makes a mistake and an immigrant is brought here and surgeons discover it and If treatment in a hospital is necessary. the Secretary of Labor may in the interests of humanity permit hospital treatment. But this amendment says that if there was a mistake made by that surgeon the Secretary of Labor can not permit hospital treatment even though it condemns the poor .victim to his death. And you call that humanity! Mans inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn.was evidently a prophetic glimpse of this particular phase of our present legislation. I say that. the proposition is horrible. Take a concrete example: An immigrant who may think lie is afflicted with a bad cold and may not know there is anything the matter with him comes down to take passage at a European port. The ship has provided physicians. They examine and pass him.
