We will vote oil the bill later. We are facing a question of policy. I will say to the gentle.ima from New York. if lie can demonstrate that this does not adnit a political refugee then I will vote for any amendment which he may bring in that will provide it. I would never vote for any bill that would deny admission into this country of any man who is seeking his religious or political liberty. and if it is not provided in this bill. let us provide it now. before the bill becomes a law. Now. gentlemen. we have heard much talk today. and will hear much more as to the foreigner who may seek our shores. but we are forgetting some very vital things as regards our own national life.
