President. there was some testimony before the committee that supports the view that the House provisions of the bill are workable. There will. however. in my opinion. be many difficulties encountered and obstacles to its enforcement. I fear. however. that there will be evasions of the law and that there will come to our shores a considerable number of persons not eligible for citizenship and in contravention of the immigration laws. It is contended by some that the House provisions referred to impinge upon the seamens act. I have not been able to perceive how these provisions will repeal the seamens act or any of its provisions.
