That is exactly true. It is to that end that the committee has been working. Of course It Is Impossible for us to establish immigration offices In all foreign countries. Many of them would not consent. Canada has been very generous in allowing us to establish Immigration stations at her ports. We have an American immigration office. for example. at Halifax. but we can not have the consent of all the countries that are concerned to the establishment of immigration offices In their towns. What we have to do is to operate under the diplomatic power. which is undoubted. We have to apply our immigration laws. if we can. through our consuls and as a part of their diplomatic functions. and that is what this bill tries to do in the establishment of these vis6 certificates. It provides that the vis6 certificates shall be a substitute for the ordinary visC with a rubber stamp that is put on an aliens passport by our consuls. In that respect it differs from the Johnson bill. as it is called.
