I am not in favor of Chinese coming in. but should we undertake to regulate these other ships and say that they shall not carry such crews as they desire? Let us approach this question in a bigger. broader way. Every time these alien seamen are permitted to come ashore. let them be equipped with a certificate which certifies to their right to come ashore only as bona fide seamen. If they are found without the certificate afterward. subject them to deportation. The difficulty with this bill is that it will impose such hardships that these boats will not come in for bunkers and provisions. I call attention to another point.
