men and black handers who already
enjoy American hospitality, according
to Andrew D. White, former president
of Cornell University, and ex-minister
to Russia and Germany.
In a statement to the press Dr.
White urges the passage of laws to bar
from the United 8tates a flood of un
desirables who he declares will hasten
thither as soon as England expels
them. He says:
"The assassin and anarchist, whom
London plans to be well rid of soon,
have an admirable refuge In the
United States—a country lying wlda
open to them In which they will find
more companions, sympathizers and.
