Mr. President. it was to remove any question that might arise as to some who might come from the Asiatic part of Russia and still be predominantly European. There are also various others to be considered. In the case of some of the southern countries. some of the people there are not predominantly European. Some from that section may have intermarried with people from Asia Minor. or similar places. and their children would have that in their ancestry. There may be some whose ancestors might have come from Syria. let us say. or from Palestine. or from any one of various other places.
