I read over that provision when the bill came from the House. and it seemed to be designed for only one purpose. Under this amendment there can be no question that all the Jews in Russia. if the statement -just read is correct. and I assume it Is. could immediately come into the United States. It opcus the door for all those persons. whether they are illiterate or not. and you discriminate in favor -of what you call the Jews and against the Christians. because in Russia. where perhaps ninetenths of all our Jewish immigratCon now is coming from. there is no question that there has -been both religious and political persecution. Therefore. we would open the gates wide to them. So also with reference to the Armenians and the Turks.
