I know that the senior Senator from Utah has made a close study of the question. I want to ask him a question for my own information. We know that it is with great difficulty that the immigration office seeks out those not eligible to entry into the United States. It is impossible for a steamship to maintain such an organization and conduct such investigations. Under the terms of the bill if some seaman misrepresents the facts and the immigration officers have information which discloses that misrepresentation. we would only be penalizing the ship for taking one who is not eligible for entry into the United States by requiring it to deport that seaman.
