President. I have no intention. as I before stated. of even attempting to discuso this important amendment. I am in hearty accord with those who are supporting and desire to secure the enactment of this bill Into a law. but I have never sympathized with that narrower view concerning immigration which would exclude from our shores men and women who are the victims of either religious or of political persecution. One of the proudest boasts of our country since its establishment has been the fact that It is a refuge for the victims of religious and political persecution from all countries. Webelieve that under our institutions it is a political duty to give them a haven where they can be free from the exactions of either or of both.
