Speaker. I am simply asking the gentleman to withhold his objection pending an explanation. I appreciate the vigorous opposition of the gentleman from Ohio to any legislation that may impair our immigration policy. but this is an individual case which will in no sense affect our policy. I am just as strongly in favor of restricted immigration as the gentleman from Ohio. as my record as a member of the Immigration Committee will show. but this is a very worthy case. applying to a young lady who. when 16 years of age. came to the United States and was denied admission because of lack of quota and was sent back. She came over with her father and mother. her father at that time having an application for naturalization pending. Later on she came back under false colors. and while over here married the son of a reputable physician in Chicago. Then. on the advice of the immigration authorities in Chicago. she returned to Rumania with a tacit understanding there would be no objection to her coming back in the regular way. She is now denied the right to come back and is separated from her husband. This is an isolated case and was heard on its merits by the committee.
