As a member of a subcommittee. I saw thousands of aliens marching past a few inspectors while the ship moved toward the pier in New York port. through which threefourths of our inmigrants come. Any observer who will visit Ellis Island and oneor two immigrant ships will see that a real and effective enforcement of the regulations provided by law is not being accomplished. The acting superintendent at New York admitted to the committee. in answer to questions propounded by me. that the socalled inspection is a farce. At a future time I hope to present this phase of the question more explicitly and fully.
