If the gentleman will remember. when we opened up our socalled quota law in 1921 and the quota was based on 3 per cent of 1910. every ship company would race into port. one trying to beat out the other. and there were a number of cases where the hardships would be too great to send them back. In other words. there were more people coming in at that time than the quota permitted. and they were permitted to go out on their own probation. In a number of cases they did not pay a head tax. with no intent to evade the law. That au. tomatically excluded them from legal admission.
