Speech #730173736

My principal objection is to confusing the question of granting favors to a few hundred Russians whose lives may be at stake with a farreaching question of who might be political or religious refugees. That may involve the Nazi and any other group or individual. This bill was introduced originally for the benefit of what we call the "White Russians." We are not opposed to granting them some consideration. but personally I think the privilege which they seek could be granted better in another way. If we are going to add to the Russian question the other proposition. it will complicate the matter and we will have to object. and we will oppose the bill.
