Now I want the distinguished gentleman from Washington . the chairman of the Cominittee on Immigration. to check me up if I am not correct in the statement that. in order to ascertain the status of the alien. the enumerator would have to find out from what country he came. the date he came. the ship he arrived on. and under what law he arrived here. Now permit me to call the attention of the House to section 18 of this bill. on page 15. Why the bill itself prevents the use of any such information. Let me read: That in no case shall information furnished under the authority of this act be used to the detriment of the person to whom such information relates. That in Itself defeats the purpose of the pending amendment.
