It would be rendering a service to many of these people. because. as has been stated here. 25.000 were returned last year. being rejected as a result of an examnination at an American port. Many of them before starting for America sell their homes and all they possess. and they take their chances on passing our local examination. They are permitted to go aboard tle ship. they pass the easy examination oil the other side. and then wlcin reaching American ports. where the examination is more thorough and careful. they are rejected and returned home. So in justice to the elligrant aiid ill justice to our country we ought to require a thorough exaniination and investigation of the emigrant onl foreign soil before lie departs as to his health. character. and so forth.
