Chairman. if newspaper reports may be relied upon. the gold from the exchequer of Russia is now being sent to this country in large quantities by those in authority there. Newspapers tell us that it is expected to be followed by the men who are sending it. If that is true it is only a question of time when these leaders over there are going to be political refugees from Russia. because just as soon as the people of Russia find out that they are being robbed by their leaders. that they are being exploited. that the gold of their country is being sent away to become the "booty" of their present leaders. these political refugees. Lenin and Trotski. are going to be seeking admission here to spend their Russian gold in future years. Do you want to enact a provision that would admit them into this country?
