She has plenty of ways of keeping them at home if she so desires. Do not be alarmed. Mr. Speaker. at the ghost of Russia instructing us as to whom we shall admit to this country. Russia is not going to tell us whom we shall admit and whom we shall exclude. but when wouldbe immigrants are in possession of documents which show whether or not they have criminal records. we propose to see those documents. Before men who possess certificates pass through Ellis Island they must produce those certificates. so that this country shall not be flooded with criminals.
