It means that certain races are to be admitted into the United States on more liberal terms than anyone else. if they claim to be fleeing from religious persecution. I do not approve of it. I have the friendliest possible feeling for the Jews and the Armenians. I have warm personal friends among them. Nevertheless. I do not think that they ought to be given special privileges more than anyone else. But if you are going to do it. let it be clear that you mean governmental persecution. Do not let any man who chooses come before the immigration commissioners and say. "I have been persecuted at home by two or three men "-who are absolutely irresponsible-" from religious motives."
