That is what I am inveighing againstthese orders issued by executives. whether they be the Secretary of Labor. the President. or the head of a bureau. They have got to stop.. The Congress has acted. the Congress has given its word in these matters. and Congress has said that 150.000 aliens should be admitted. and Congress has said that the provisions relative to contract labor and public charges shall be respected. and all I want is that the consuls shall respect them. They do not need any acceleration in their vigilance by Executive orders of this character. I say this: I say rescind that order and you will get what you want. and everyone will be satisfied. The President has the right to rescind that order. even without a suggestion from Congress. I think the mere adoption of a resolution by the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization would be sufficient. and I believe that would be the desirable thing to do. it would be the diplomatic way to do it and. I think. would win our point. I think the committee would be doing a great service also in the matter of what is happening in Germany at the present time.
