Mr. President. this is intended to tighten up the immigration law in three ways. first. to make it definite that an alien who comes in under a treaty comes to conduct an international trade with his home country and this country. and does not allow a Chinaman to come in to run a grocery store in San Francisco. for instance. It is important that that provision be tightened up. Next. it puts the wife and children of treaty immigrants under the same restrictions as other immigrants. It cuts out picture marriages and proxy marriages and things of that sort. It tightens up the law in that sense. Lastly. it applies the immigration act to treaties negotiated since 1924 in the same way that it applies to prior treaties. It is recommended by the State Department and by the Department of Labor. I have an amendment I want to suggest.
