Mr. Chairman. I move to amend section 40 by striking out all the words beginning on line 12. as follows : That the execution of the laws of Ihe United States relating to immigration. to tariffs. customs. and duties on hiportations into the United States anti the regulations made pursuant thereto shall be effected in Porto Rico through officials appointed by the governor of Porto Rico: Provided. So as to leave these subjects in the hands of officials appointed by the United States Government. I offer this aCadmntent at the suggestion of the officials of the Treasury Department. who think that confusion would result from any change in present conditions.
