If we were appropriating for the manufacture of something that we needed more of- in times of scarcity it would be ill right to do -that.- but we can not make men. This appropriation will not make two men where there was one before. It will not add at all to the volumio of labor.1 "We are restricted by legislation which it has been thought wise to enact as to immigration. Now. if this neans that we are to sit back supinely as employers of labor and ask the Government to bring labol: to our doors. knowing that they. must rob some other employer of labor to bring it to us. then weare really doing damage. So it seems to me that with what the Labor Department has to work upon it is unnecessary to appropriate $750.000 more. to be spent largely here In Washington In hiring more dlerks: that ought to be doing something else.
