Mr. President. the Senator from Nevada a moment ago mentioned the thousands of refugees coming into this country. I have some personal knowledge in regard to that matter. I was in Europe about 5 weeks ago. I came back on the steamship Washington. of the United States Lines. On the ship on which I made the trip across the Atlantic there were about 175 aliens. noncitizens. refugees from foreign countries. who were attempting to escape the war zone and come to the United States. When I was in Paris I waited for 5 days for the purpose of obtaining transportation for myself upon the ship. for the reason that I knew that this extraordinary session of Congress would be called. Thousands of Americans were then attempting to obtain transportation upon that ship.
