Speech #760046021

Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I have introduced two bills today. one to amend section 166 of the immigration laws. to restrict certain alien seamen from landing in the United States. the other to amend section 221 of the Shipping Act barring certain aliens to participate in benefits thereof. Both of these bills pertain particularly to the Japanese seamen whose activities were brought to my attention during the investigation of which I served as chairman of the subcommittee to Investigate unAmerican activities. During the month of August 1934. at a hearing at Los Angeles. Calif.. which I conducted with other members of the committee. a witness appeared before the committee whose name was Lail Kain.
