You force a weak man to live on tips. which are akin to bribes. and you will retain only the kind of men who will take tips and bribes. The force at Ellis Island is utterly inadequate. it is not adequately paid. The adoption of this last act restricting immigration does not relieve the country of the pressure upon it by people who slould not come in. That pressure has been increased. Men from every land are trying to get inthe very kind of people we do not want. When they find themselves barred by the new provisions of our immigration law then they find some new method of entering. At New York they have adopted one or more dangerous lines of procedure. There they often tip and bribe their way in.
