We are now beyond the point where in many respects the bureaucracy of Russia does not compare with what we have here now. and ours is being increased -and extended to an infinite extent. Let me tell you a circumstance that occurred the other day. A resident of Connecticut. the president of one of our manufacturing corporations. residing for years in this country. having recently applied for naturalization papers. never dreaming it was necessary. the selling man of that concern. sent to me. through his attorney in New York. and applied for a permit and a license from the Attorney Generals Office to travel in his usual accustomed way in the country. He got the license and permit to go from New York. his business office..to his factory in Connecticut. He had to get a license in this free country of oursjust as loyal a man and resident as you or Iand he asked me. "Can not I travel in the United States without going to every district for a license?" He is limited to 50 miles. as I recall. and that is the only portion of the United States he can go in without being subject to arrest.
