The Barbary pirate is not within the excluded area. Turks can come in. the "unspeakable Turk" has no line of exclusion drawn about him. These gentlemen who massacred Christians and burnt their temples a* thousand years ago. and who within the last few months have shown that they have bred true by ravishing. torturing. and burning the Armenian Christians. they are not excluded. they can come here with the blood of murder on their swords. pose as gallant soldiers. pass a literacy test. and come in. The Russian soldier who was born on that side of the line [indicating]. and who has spent his life driving back into the midnight of the Siberian mines the unfortunate creatures whom tyranny had sentenced to infernal torture. can come in. but the savant. the poet. the orator. the statesman. the writer. born anywhere in the 2.000mile stretch between those two lines the committee draws through Russia can not come in. Such is the philosophy of the committee.
