I wish to be heard now. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen.. it has been. and I hope it will continue to be. the traditional policy of our country to extend welcome to political refugees. and I hope we shall never deviate from this broad. liberal. and humane policy. Every civilized nation has and is granting refuge to political refugees. and I carl cite innumerable cases where our Government has refused to. surrender political refugees upon the requisition of nations. The archives of the State Department will show the strongest documents from former Secretaries of State. including Jefferson. Fish. Webster. Clayton. Marcy.
