After a careful investigation the evidence disclosed that the charge against them was a false one. The statement made by the gentleman from New York is correct. I am fearful that if this amendment is adopted we will Invite the Russian Government or other Governments to take advantage of this provision and use the immigration department for the purpose of holding people who are properly and legally entitled to enter the United States and to prevent them from entering. We who are acquainted with someof these oppressive Governments know how far they will go if they desire to persecute a man whom they dislike. In view of the eloquent appeals that have been imade by others.
