French. Italian. and other European ports. Besides the discrimination against the American citizens. we have this other problem. that under the immigration law now in effect. with its quota limitations. every time a vessel lands they have a large number of desertions. Many of these men take work at lower wages. having in mind the opportunity of leaving the ship at one of its calls at an American port. It will be suggested that it is impossible to get the kind of service these ships require if they have to recruit threequarters of their men in the stewards department from American citizens.
