It is in the testimony which the Senator will find on his desk. inserted by the Assistant Secretary of State on pages 5 and 6 of the testimony. Mr. President. under the immigration laws we keep out all Asiatics. because they are not admissible to citizenship. At the present time crossing the Pacific there are many steamers operated by Americansnot as many as I should like to see. but there are steamers of the Dollar Line and some other lines. There are many steamers operated by the British. there are steamers operated by the Norwegians. the French. and the Dutch that use Asiatics in their crews. When they come into port it is the custom of the captain to pay for an extra watchman to see that they do not escape. because he knows that they will get into difficulty and that he will get into difficulty. At any rate.
