In accordance with a suggestion of the Emigration Congress at the World's Fair held in 1890, a "Commission Permanente Internationale pour la Protection des Emigrants" was formed at Paris, France in December 1890. The Committee proposes that all countries which either by propaganda or by special laws, attempt to attract foreign workmen, shall reject every immigrant whose "contract" has not been signed either by one of their own consuls or by their specially appointed immigration agent, and also by the authorities of the port of embarkation or by a consul of the immigrant's native country.
