They have not any real right to ask for citizenship. They have come in as visitors. I asked him if it was not true that persons who had come in as visitors were seeking naturalization. He advised me that they were. You know. everybody who comes to this country is not legally and technically an immigrant. There are two classes of these peop!e. *One class is designated in the law as immigrants and the other is designated in the law as nonimmigrants. There are many times more nonimmigrants coming to this country than immigrants. The quota law limits immigrants to about 153.000. but there are not that many who come in as immigrants. Because of the war conditions not many .can come. More have been coming from Germany than from any other country. They are principally refugees. Germanys quota is pretty well up. but the quotas from other countries are small. There are 3 or 4. maybe 10 times. as many nonimmigrants come over here. Wh. are they? They. are the students. visitcrs. businessmen. ministers. and church attaches who come in here under: visitors visas. Before the war conditions intervened nearly 300.000 of these came during a year. Most of these visitors are supposed to stay only 6 months.
