What will it be? It will be that Selim Brahim. or whatever may be the name of the kind. is admitted into the United States on the ground that he is an exile or refugee from religious persecution visited upon him by the Government of Turkey. So thus we have indicted Turkey and found her guilty by an administrative judgment of our own officers which we must give approval to by giving the man the right of entrance.
