Mr. Chairman. late yesterday afternoon. just before the committee rose. I called the attention of the committee to the situation to which this amendment is directed. I agree with the Committee on Immigration in relation to publications in a foreign country. I can see the merit of that. But we have a border reaching from Detroit to the Pacific Ocean where our country adjoins Canada. Canada is just as much a foreign country as any other country. and. undeP this bill. if a merchant in Detroit. or a factory in Detroit or at any other place. like Niagara Falls. for example. prints an advertisement. published in America. circulated largely in America. asking for help of any kind. and that paper goes across the Canadian border. as our papers do. and any person in Canadaman or womanreads that advertisement. and comes into the United -States in consequence of that advertisement. and goes to that factory without disclosing the fact that he or she comes because of that advertisement. and is employed. the man who employs that person is subject to the penalties of section 5. which are both civil and criminal. the civil penalty being $1.000 fine per person.
