It is not only for his benefit. but for the benefit of the port which the ship has entered. it is a protection to the Government of the United States and it insures his care and attention. It saves the Government from paying the expense and compels the ship that brought him here to pay the expense. This has been practically carried out to some extent. but there is some question between the Department of Labor. of which the Bureau of Immigration is a part. and the shipowners as to whether the burden should all fall on the shipowners. It is provided by this bill. as it should have been originally. that the shipowner must bear all the expenses. The committee are in favor of these amendments. and the bill ought to pass.
