Mr. President. If we are going to say that immilgrants must embdrk on American ships. why not encourage American shipping further and say that emigrants who depart must embark on American ships? If we are going into that kind of business with foreign nations and foreign trade. why do we not say that all our imports and all our exports must be in American bottoms? Ai. there is a principle of retaliation and a principle of fair dealing in all these matters. Mr. President. we are opposed to any amendment which further restricts the small number of immigrants who will be allowed to enter under the provisions of the pending committee amendment. and we are opposed to any amendment which enlarges the number. We rest upon the old bill. which was passed by the Senate with only two votes against it.
