European steamship companies. European hotels. and for European aniseients. This bill does not propose to reduce the fees for passports or vis s issued by our Government to our citizens who travel abroad. but by its terms it authorizes the President to reduce or abolish altogether the vis6 fees charged aliens who come to this country from foreign lands not as immigrants. but as tourists. travelers. students. or for business purposes. Under the present law these foreign aliens who visit the United States are paying into the United States Treasury annually about $700.000 for visas of passports of said aliens. Now. if this charge made against alien tourists and alien business nien who comie to tle United States is abolished altogether the Government will lose in revenue about $700.000. If the Government loses that revenue it will have to be made up by -taxing the American people in some other way. 1. for one. prefer that we still continue to let the foreigners who visit the United States pay this $700.000 rather thlan saddle the tax on our own people.
