The majority of them. however. insisted that their only thought was to have the ports opened and be permitted to return to their native land." (Hearings. p. 749.) There was incorporated in the record a pamphlet written by one Constantine M. Panunzio. a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. and published by the Federation of the Churches of Christ in America. giving the result of a study made by the author of the records in 200 of these deportation cases and of aii investigation conducted by him into the affair of the raids. in the course of which lie visited many of the jails in which the prisoners were confined. and talked to and studied them. There are some inaccuracies in the report touching the disclosures of the record. arising from the fact that the author Is not a lawyer. But as a whole it must impress the just mind by its temperate and highly Judicial character.
