I believe that the treaty should be terminated. because in its wording. even if not in the way it was. construed by various Secretaries of State. it was one which neither party lived up to or could accept. It provided for rights of sojourn and domicile on the part of inhabitants of the other nation equal to those enjoyed by the home population. This was a specific denial of the right to restrict immigration or to discriminate in the matter of immigration. We. on our part. have established regulations whereby those Russians not possessing at least $20 were barred from our shores. Others were barred on account of physical defect.
