I say the whole problem arises from desertion. A great many foreign seamen seize the opportunity of remaining in the United States. they know that the quota law would prevent them from coming as immigrants. they think they see a job. of course. they are all entitled to shore leave. and they desert their ships. They merely disappear. they fade away. and their places have to be filled before the ship sails again. Frequently in the past ships have been going away with reduced crews because on every arrival of a big liner from Europe there were a number of desertions.
