Now. these are being made matters of diplomatic protest and :report. and discussion in the British House of Commons. and :therefore I think we in the House of Representatives are justiified in discussing these and other cases here. We have a right .also to reaffirm our protests against the actions of various Governmlents who are undertaking.to unload their. weary. worn.. and:povertystricken citizens upon us in spite of our restrictive laws. Another British case is that of a onearmed soldier. probably la goodsoldier. who after the war committed an embezzlement iin England and fled to the United States. and by some subterfuge was about to be admitted in spite of his embezzlement until it turned out on examination that he had picked up on. the boat a French woman and was guilty of concubinage. which is a cause for deportation. They were about to refuse to admit him for that offense. when it turned out that he had gone still further and married the woman and thus committed bigamy. for. after the embezzlement. lie ddserted a wife and children in: England. Ills case. I understand. is charged up as. one more United States immigration outrage. although it may not have yet become a inatter of diplomatic exchange.
