Then I point out that no provision for habeas corpus is made in that connection. nor does the bill establish any standard or the slightest measuring stick to be applied in such a case. A consular officer who might not like the shape of an applicants nose or the color of his eyes or the cut of his jib. or whatnot. could simply say. "I believe this man will engage in activities. Incidentally"-he would not have to find that the applicant would engage in them entirely-"which would be prejudicial to the public Interest." In case such a finding were made. the applicant would Immediately be excluded. he would not be issued a visa. In that case. what could he do about such a refusal?
