The child cannot be an American citizen because. as I understand it. there is some misunderstanding with reference to the organfc law which set up the Panama Canal Zone. I do not know the exact facts in this respect. else I would elaborate on this point. I do not want to get the reputation of being against everything which the Immigration Committee reports out. but I do want to impress upon you that we do not want to be misled by something that even Mme. Perkins does not endorse wholeheartedly and something which the Secretary of State will not endorse at all. We ought not to give these people any more than we give the people in Canada or Mexico.
