Mr. Chairman. the purpose of this amendment is so evident that I think it hardly needs any discussion. It was stated here on the floor that vessels are held in ports which are crowded with immigrants who want to get here. These people may be three or four months in reaching this country. They may be three or four months before they get a vessel to bring them here. If these people are left in foreign countries and must return to their original country. having sold all their possessions and subject to persecution. as they will be. for trying to leave the country. they will be in a bad situation.
