Mir. President. the real point in this bill has not been touched. The Mennonites difficulty with the Rnssiau government consists simply in this: They. in their religions tenets. are opposed to war. ad reftise to encter the military service of a great militany power. They desire to emigrate somewhere where they will be free from the obligation of defending by physical force the nationality of which they are members. and this bill is so drawn that the Mennonites who come to this country under it may take isp these lands and hold them i ndofinitely without ever heeeming rii y. -tibu ov r .c.ullg Azeus of the United States. and therefore without ever becoming liaie to compulsory military service if the Governmeut of the United States shoal he compelled to call opon them iu time of war. as I understand the bill.
