The Senator had something to say about Immigration from Russia. I happened to be in Russia last summer. and I noticed a very large number of Russians at the emigration office getting their papers s. that they could come to this country. and it struck me as very peculiar that our Government. which has no official relations at all with Russia. as I understand it. on the ground that we might be contaminated by Russia. is allowing thousands of Russians to come in and either become citizens over here or to associate with us and proselyte with us. if they so desire. just as if the Government was on the most cordial relations with our Government. It seemed to me an unusual thing. and I wanted to ask the Senator. who is on the Committee on Immigration. and who I know understands the situation. how It happens that we. having no official relations whatsoever with Russia. yet permit Russian citizens to come in as do the citizens of any other nation.
