That is a question that is in the hands of the Public Health Service and the President of the United States. and if the President believes the people are in danger of an epidemic. he may place an embargo upon all immigration. also the Public Health Service has the general power to safeguard the public health by the inspection and detention of all infected vessels. The question of typhus is a matter of publichealth regulation and is not strictly a question of immigration. and the citing of cases of typhus on board ship only tends to prejudice the mind against the legitimate immigration problem.
