You hang every authority he has under the act upon that power. That is the keystone of the provision. These refugee children are not citizens of the United States and the power now sought to be imputed to him under the neutrality law is not with reference to the protection of citizens of the United States but citizens of other countries. and it is obvious he could not so expand the law. I call attention further to the wellknown rule of interpretation and construction: That when certain exceptions are specified wherein power can be exercised that in itself is an inhibition against further exceptions not named therein. So the act provides "excepting the American Red Cross" in section 4 of the provisions.
