I think. is correct in that statement. To a man who ever practiced law it was very abhorrent. there is no question.. to have these secret hearings. I have investigated the matter very carefully since the report of the commission and have conferred time and time again with the officials of the Immigration Bureau. and reached the deliberate conclusion that it is not only impracticable as a matter of expeditiousness but that it was in the interest of the immigrant himself to have the hearing in this manner. Now. you take these people. especially along the Mediterranean Sea. excitable. mercurial people. to allow them. to just come in at any time where some poor immigrant was being examined is. to his admissibility. and in the interest of that immigrant himself I believe it would be an injustice to. him. and hence I reached the conclusion. after a long deliberation. that the doors should not be thrown wide open to the public. In the first place. they will never get along with any businessit will be a handicap to them all the way throughand in the next place . believe. it will be such an embarrassment to the immigrant himself to be confronted with all these people there that it will be absolutely and positively an injury to him.
