Letter from William S. Bennet to Henry Cabot Lodge

Representative Bennet reports to Senator Lodge from Greece on the practices of steamship companies taking immigrants to the United States. In light of current restrictive health inspections at Ellis Island, Greek officials and heads of steamship companies are carrying out more stringent health inspections before the ships depart. This has drastically reduced the number of immigrants turned away in the United States. Bennet suggests that it may be an opportune time to cooperate with Greece to exclude “undesirable” Greek immigrants from coming to the United States.
