Mr. Speaker. I wish to make it clear to the House that in this circular of May 28. 1907. the Department of State refuses the American passport not only to former subjects to Russia who have become naturalized American citizens. but also specifically to all Jews in the United States. Now. this is a most surprising and deplorable chapter of American diplomacy. Four years ago in the House of Representatives I had occasion to nmake an address upon the question of the dishonoring by Russia of the American passport. At that time. and largely as the result of the efforts of my colleague from New York . a resolution passed the House of Representatives requesting the President of the United States to renew negotiations with foreign Governments where discrimination is made between different classes of American citizens on account of their religious faith and to secure uniformity of treatment for all American citizens alike.
