It is true that oIl some of the German ships sailing from Italian ports the Italian Government has its Italian doctors. but that is by agreement. They could not force them upon those German ships if they declined to have them. And on that very question the present Secretary of Labor said when that matter was up before: .I am not entirely satisfied that the system of examination and ohservation on board ship will accomplish that which is expected of it by its proponents. for unless the force placed on a ship having a passenger list running from a comparatively small number up to 1.500 immigrants is sufficient properly to inspect. and observe all of them. the work would be incomplete and of limited value. To provide the necessary forceand if the Government Initiates the system all ships. whether carrying few or many passengers. would have to be inspected to avoid the appearance of discriminationthe expense would necessarily be large. And lie said further: In conclusion.
