It would probably admit a larger number from southern and eastern Europe than the amendment proposed as a substitute by the Senate committee. We can afford. it seems to me. to apply a rule of suspension for a definite period. Senators have read of the typhus that came in one of the ships. where there were some 1.300 immigrants landed the other day in New York. I noticed in the New York Times of this morning that three of the typhus patients were found away up in Cortland. N. Y.. which I think is some 100 miles out of New York City. though I do not know the exact distance. Those three came on the boat where all the other typhus cases were found. It would seem to me at this time. due to so many different reasons. that we ought really to suspend immigration. and in the meanwhile we can work out some plan such as is suggested by the Senator from Vermont and incorporated in his substitute. or some other plan that might be wise and just and restrictive.
