Mr. President. it may be a little out of order. but I desire to recur now to the muchdiscussed amendment on page 41. which was amended so as to read. " unless the Secretary of Labor is satisfied that to refuse treatment would be inhumane or cause unlsual hardship or suffering." I suggest to the committee that there be added to that amendment as now adopted a clause similar to the one found on page 60. which provides that an alien detained and treated in the hospitals under the supervision of immigration officials shall be kept there at the expense of the vessel. I think if that clause were added to the provision on page 41 it would have a tendency to bring about the very object the committee had in view. namely. to penalize the vessel owner for bringing over those who are afflicted with disease which could have been detected.
