Large funds were raised to project suddenly into this country some 5.000.000 persons in a state of complete indigence and to throw them into the labor market of America and on our people for support by taxation. Therefore. Mr. President. I think in making exceptions we should be very careful. I am entirely in favor of making an exception which will give the Cuban refugees admission to this country. the only place where they can take refuge if they desire to flee from the disorders and oppressions now existing in the island. If the Senator will limit it as he has manifested a readiness to do. I think there ought to be no objection to it.
