The representatives of these seamen who appeared before the committee claimed that the seamen were needed more in this country. since the United States is the shipping center of the Allied Nations. and that an international hiring hall should be established in this country to assign all these seamen where they were most needed. The War Shipping Administration. however. took the position that we have all the men we need to man our ships and that these seamen should be sent back to their respective governments. The Department of Justice took the position that these men had deserted their ships. were here illegally. and should be deported.
