Tory sentiment in the United States. not the sentiment of the people who had won the Revolution. had fought for it at Lexington and Yorktown. but of those who cherished unAmerican ideals and believed that wealth and class and prestige should dominate this country and that the common people existed for no higher purpose than to maintain a privileged upper class. The vis law to which I have referred is closely akin to the alien act of 1798. Under the latter the President could order to be deported any alien whom he might deem dangerous to the peace and safety of the -United States. Under the vis6 law the President has still more arbitrary powershe can prevent any mare . wonan. or child. whomsoever lie chooses. from coming to the United States. That law was passed originally as a war leasure. It is not an illimigration measure. It was not passed in the interest of keeping immigrants outof this country. It was passed originally under the guise of a war measure. Our Republican brethren went to the people of the United States and promised them that they would repeal the restrictive war laws.
