The statement that lie was admitted simply for transit is correct. but it amounts to nothing. for the reason that he could stay just as long as lie wanted to stay by forfeiting the deposit. It will be recalled that the Commissioner General of Immigration. before the committee. said that a transit permit really amiounted to nothing. that the person who was given such permission could remain here indefinitely if he desired to. but that if lie remained in the country ie would not have returned to him the $8 which. it seems. it is necessary to deposit to secure such a permit.
