The offenses were minor offenses and were committed by a minor. As appears in the letter of Judge K~ioa. of North Carolina. a member of the Committee on Immigration. this girl after trial here would probably have been pardoned. but more likely never would have been tried in any court. Not only the State Department but the Labor Department has tried to find a way to relieve this situation. My own opinion in regard to this is that it lies within the power of Congress itself to grant a pardon on occasion. Such a power lies with every court. and necessarily so. because the law can not be made to exactly fit every possible case.
