His journey may take 4.000. 5.000. or 6.000 miles and involve an expenditure which he can by no means" afford. We have consilar officers. highly trained and skilled men. all over the world. most of them living within a comparatively few miles of any place from which an alien is likely to depart. We provide in this conference report that those consuls shall assist the intending immigrant to determine whether or not he is going to be excludable under our immigration laws when he reaches a port of the United States. I honestly think. gentlemen. that this provision is in aid of the immigrant rather than an additional hardship or difficulty which the country seeks to impose upon him. So much for the first of the two sections to which objection has been made. To ny mind the protection of the country imperatively demands the adoption of some provision like section 3.
