It is a seamans right under the law to quit his ship when he comes into a foreign port. and no one would want to change that right. At the same time. there is such a wide loophole now open that the Government has in reality a real problem on its hands in regard to these seamen. Our immigration laws. especially our quota system. can be completely overcome by what is happening. I will cite an exact situation. One country which has a quota of about 250 a year has already had seamen desert greatly in excess of that number.
