That covers the whole principle. The soil of the United States is the possession of its people. they. and they alone. can say who shall come upon that soil and who shall not. If they choose to say that one people iii Europe shall not come in the form of immigrants. but that they will open their doors to refugees from the Island of Cuba. it is entirely within their right so to do. I think the only question for us to consider now is whether it is not advisable to make a very strict and limited exception which shall permit the Cubans during the continuance of the present struggle to find refuge in this country. but that after the restoration of the island to independence and prosperity that exemption shall cease.
