Congress has the power to provide such measures as will protect the lives of passengers. crew. and merchandise. When Congress or its committees invades the capital structure and prescribes regulation thereof. it is pleasing neither to the employer nor the employee. for it was such rights and regulations that business. industry. and labor reserved to themselves in articles 9 and 10 of the Bill of Rights. Congress shall have the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcy throughout the United States. To establish uniform rules of naturalization does not mean that when immigration quotas from various countries remain unfilled we shall exert ourselves to fill the quotaat least. not until our own people are employed. As to bankruptcy. I believe we have sufficient laws for that. and it is possible that the United States may fall under the hammer if Congress does not begin to reduce the national debt.
