I have been trying to understand the phraseology used in section 7. assuming that it were to pass as now written. and it strikes me that it is at least ambiguous. if not contradictory. Let me read it and see if the Senator from Utah does not agree in all seriousness that the section contradicts itself. Section 7 provides: SEc. 7. No vessel shall. unless such vessel is in distress. bring into a port of the United States as a member of her crew any alien who if he were applying for admission to the United States as an immigrant would be subject to exclusion under subdivision (c) of section 13 of the immigration act of 1924. That lets a Chinaman out of the picture. does it not?
