They are good citizens. They believe in our form of government and they are sustaining advocates of constitutional government as now carried on in the United States. The matter that was bothering me was the establishment of a new principle that was proposed here to let into the United States political and religious refugees. and that is what this measure would have done had not the Senate bill as proposed by the chairman of the committee been amended by striking out the word "or" and substituting the word " and ". and I am assuming. of course. that this is going to correct this bill and not tack on to this bill something of a very different nature. I believe it will have this effect. and with this amendment adopted I am in favor of the bill. However. I want to call the attention of the House to the fact that before the bill was amended by the Senate it took care of the Russian situation completely. but it also established a new principle on immigration and permitted political and religious refugees to come in without any restriction whatever. They could also come in here following 1933. and this supposed restriction would have meant the establishment of the principle of permitting such socalled "persecuted. political. and religious refugees" to come into the United States.
