I am very glad the gentleman has brought that up. We refer to that in the report of the majority of the committee. where a letter is printed from the Secretary of State conveying to us the -protests of the Italian Government against any plan that would set up immigration officials of the United States Government in Italy. Similar protests have been received from other countries. that is to say. those countries do not feel that they can see such legislation in progress in the United States without protesting. because they would not want to agree that our immigration officials and others cbuld detain in this country one of their nationals for 10 days. or any other time. for health inspection. immigration. or any other inspection. any more than we would be willing to agree.that if I wanted to go to Italy I would have to go to New York and be in detention for 10 days to see whether I had this or that disease. or so much money.
