Speaker. it Is sometimes entertaining to be fooled. and that is why good magicians are always popular with audiences. When people go to see a magician. they go with a challenge to the performer: "Lets see how good you are at fooling me." But they do not elect people to public office to pull sleightofhand tricks on them. and they do not like it when that is attempted by public officials. This Congress last year passed a bill which was supposed to be emergency legislation to provide haven in this country for some of the refugees from Iron Curtain terror. It was described by the administration as a good law which would have humane consequences. Everyone knows by now what a cruel hoax this law has been. largely because of unsympathetic and even antagonistic administration. It has been used not to help refugees from Soviet terror come to the United States. but rather to keep them out. As the PolishAmerican Journal commented recently in an editorial: "This cruel hoax must be eliminated." The text of the editorial is as follows:
