It is made very clear that not more than two persons. exclusive of their wives. dependents. and children in each instance. may come in. and that under no circumstances should anybody come in under the bill if persons of like training or with equal knowledge could be found in the United States. It was thought by the committee and by the Department of Labor that various industries in America which are now in their infancy. or which perhaps have not been developed here at all. might be established or aided by bringing such talent from abroad. It was with that thought in mind that the bill was prepared. worked over repeatedly. and finally there came forth a bill which received the unanimous consideration of the Committee on Immigration. For my part. I feel that it ought to pass.
