from the various diplomatic and consular agents of the
United States all the information possible in relation to
these undesirable aliens.

He reviewed the legislation relating to exclusion of
aliens which must be excluded, with particular refer-
ence to those who advocate the overthrow of the goy-
-) ernment of the United States by force and violence.
Are we to believe that the Countess Karolyi and
Saklatvala and others intended to advocate the over-
throw of the government by force and violence? Even
the most nervous would not believe that the countess
had any such intentions and we doubt whether the con-
fidential agents whose reports are kept secret were able
to connect her with any such ideas. Unfortunately for
the State Department the general law does not cover
the particular case, consequently we are compelled to
seek the reason for her exclusion in the undisclosed re-
ports of the confidential agents.
The answer is unsatisfactory for it fails to meet the
test laid down by the department inasmuch as there is
no evidence that the countess in particular comes with-
in the class of undesirable aliens.
There is a note in the defense which has the ap-
pearance of a red herring. In his defense of exclusion
the secretary said : "One would think from some of the
comments in the press that a foreigner has some inher-
ent right to come to the United States which is being
denied by the State Department. No foreigner has
such right whatever. Congress may admit or exclude
any one it sees fit. The law has specified what classes
shall be excluded and until the law is changed it will
be enforced; and it will be enforced without regard to
their station in life, for the law applies to prince and
peasant alike."
None of the critics of the State Department have
assumed that an alien has rights which rise higher than
the law passed by Congress. Nobody questions the
sovereignity of the government nor its right to prescribe
rules for entry into the country. But yet an alien does
have a right to enter the United States if he comes with-
in the provisions of the laws passed by Congress.
Countess Karolyi had a right to apply for admission
to the United States just as has any other European.
If she wanted to come here as a quota immigrant she
should be admitted if she satisfied .the requirements of
the quota law. If she intended to visit us for pleasure,

THEY THAT KNOW MY SORROW

They that know my sorrow add a spark to the fire
of my heart
When they ask me: How is thy beloved more
precious than another love?

Praises and dark sayings fail to tell of Him;
He is all desirable; His majesty cannot be sought
out ;
Therefore do I clothe myself with terrors at His
flight.

Ah, pity me, and speak unto the heart so moved,
Or comfort me; for how endure love and separa-
tion?

And His name is within me—live fire in my veins,
Bound within my heart, shut up in my bones:
And they rebuke me—they that despise my
statutes—

And they reproach me when I seek to serve Him,
And they revile me when I give glory to His Name.

They think to set me far, 0 God, from Thy service:
But my suffering and oppression are better than
Thine estrangement ;
My portion and my pleasure, the sweet fruit of
Thy law.

Let my right hand forget—if I stand not before
Thee;
Let my tongue cleave—if I desire aught but
Thy law.

Lo, in mine ears the sound of Thy praise—
The Red Sea and Sinai are witnesses to Thy great-
ness:
How shall my thoughts dwell on any but Thee?

My heart and mine eyes will not suffer my feet
to slip,
For this, the Lord, is One, there is none beside Him.
