A commission is a good thing for those on the commission who draw the salaries. An investigation seldom. If ever. benefits anybody else. The American people favored the restriction of immigration. There was practically no difference of opinion as to the necessity for that legislation. but in order to postpone action Congress created a commission which lasted year after year. and In the end cost $1.000.000. and the publication of 30 or 40 volumes of testimony which nobody read. Congress knew in advance that the legislation was in the interests of the country. and yet wasted year after year and a million dollars in finding out something a majority of Congress knew in advance.
