Then we will have that in conference. and that may have to be modified. It seems to me it will have to be modified. but if we are going to restrict immigration we certainly do not want to permit foreign ships to land at our ports with a whole lot of seamen who are not entitled to admission. We can not let them quit. as the seamens law provides they have a right to quit. because they will violate our immigration law if they come in. If that is true. it seems to me we will violate our own Immigration law by laying it wide open for a lot of seamen to come in and quit the employ of the foreign ships.
