If the Senator will give his attention to the first five lines of section 7. he will see that they readNo 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. Let us suppose a Chinaman comes to the port of Baltimore upon a Danish ship. The ship comes up the Chesapeake Bay to the immigration station. Before the ship can land at all it has to be inspected. of course. and go through the virious steps preliminary to docking. It is found that a Chinaman is on that ship.
