Mr. Doak. told me only a day or so ago that the bill. which has already passed the Senate. has the indorsement of the President of the United States. If you are so anxious to keep undesirable aliens from coming to this country. pass the alien seamens bill. because that is the real source from whence they come. The undesirable aliens enter the country as fake seamen or stowaways without any inspection. physical br otherwise. They sign as seamen or stewards. desert on arrival. all with the knowledge of the steamship companies. A few nights ago this House wanted to jam through a bill. and subsequently did pass a bill. cutting lawful. legitimate immigration by 90 per cent. These immigrants are mostly parents of American citizens or wives and children of honest. hardworking aliens lawfully admitted. That was a bill dealing with souls. with human beings. and yet there was a big majority in favor of the passage of that bill. The alien seamens bill is a bill dealing with dollars and cents. and the steamship companies are opposed to the bill.
