I would like to ask the Senator. who is chairman of the Committee on Commerce. and perhaps more familinr with our merchant marine than most of us. whether we have sufficient boats running to all the ports in the world from which immigrants will come to care for those who might desire to come to the United States? We have boats. I know. which go to some European ports. some Asiatic ports. and some South American ports. but my understanding is that there are many points to which our passenger boats do not go. and the Senator knows that our freight boats will touch more ports than our passenger boats will touch. I am inclined to think that if his amendment were to be adopted it would inhibit soue people coming to the United States who would be entitled even under the restrictions of this bill to come to our shores.
