I think most of us must realize the truth of the -statement made by the gentleman from Arkansas. that any provfsion of the kind that would bring labor into the United States to be bound to a certain task at a specified place would create a peonage system. which we can not afford to even think of adopting. Dismissing that. I ask the attention of the Members to a statement which Ithink must be made. Perhaps the statement should come from the Committee on Foreign Affairs. but even if it comes from the chairman of the Immigration Committee. it may advise Congress and warn the country that the exodus from central Europe is serious and dangerous. The State Department knows this to a certainty. That department has handed to me enough paragraphs from its consular officers for use in this report on this bill to serve as a warning.
