Now. pending the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States on that question. the various Secretaries of Commerce and Labor have done what. it seems to me. was wise. They have not caused those particular decisions to be emphasized. becauseand I regret to state this. but the gentlemans statement brought it outunder those decisions there are thousands of diseased aliens in Europe who would be eligible if that law was sustained. I have not heard my friends statement in relation to the Chinese. but today on the eastern coast. out of a total of a million immigrants. the total number of cases. as shown by a letter from the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. amounted to fewer than 50 that were let in. Now. I want to absolutely deny the statement that Secretary Straus ever opened the door wide.
