In the present bill it saysinduce. assist. encourage. or solicit. or attempt to induce. assist. encourage. or solicit any alien. and so forth. Then as to the promises made by advertisement printed md published in a foreign country we have introduced the words "whether such promise is true or false." Whether they can come in lawfully or not was never considered by the committee. because we did not want induced labor to come here. even if they could come legally. The amendment is against the policy of this old law to prevent induced or assisted immigration. and the people of this country do not want induced labor to come in. Even if they are admissible. we ought not to induce them tocome here. Therefore I thii~c the amendment ought not to be. adopted.
