To the founders of this Republic such an idea would have been inconceivable. They would have cast aside as abhorrent the suggestion of what is now a dismal realitythat an American citizen. armed with the passport of the United States. should be halted at the boundary of a friendly power. questioned as to his religious belief. and rejected or refused admission .because of such religion. This is not a question of the naturalization or immigration laws. Only those ignorant of the facts or anxious to conceal the present distressing situation will so assert. The issue is presented more clearly by the case pf the Hebrew born in America. of American ancestry.
