I never suggested that they be turned over to the constitutionalists. My suggestion was that our Government deliver them to the Iuerta government. where they belong. That would relieve us of nearly onehalf of the interned refugees and reduce the expense of the Government of the United States nearly onehalf. I understand that the Mexicans who are interned are held. not because they want to remain in the country. but. on the contrary. they want to go home. they want to return to Mexico. It seems to me It would be very good policy. if not in violation of international law. to permit it.
