Mr. Speaker. by this bill it is proposed to admit into the United States an illdetfinite number of refugees front Turkish territory. No good reason has been suggested for the selection of the unfortunate from Turkey and Greece as distiguisied. froin the tnhappy. the oppressed. the persecuted. the homeless. atnd the starving frot many other lands. There are miany such who want to come from Poland. front Russia. and many other places where people are in great distress. To admit all who are thus distressed would be to repeal or disregard the system of restrictive immigration laws which the people have caused to be enacted during the last 40 years. It would subject the country to the peril against wkich the people and their Goverinuent have been trying to protect the country. The causes of these wretched conditions among the people in other lainds are it the people theirselves. not in the climate or soil or atmosphere of the .countries front which the come.
