Why 1t Was Not Granted.

In refusing to grant this pardon the
president says that if this were a single
case he would with pleasure comply, but
that the case involves the whole question
of the success and enforcement of the ex.
clusion law. The president says further:
"If Cinnamon can land in Canada and
suffer no other penalty for crossing our
line than that of being returned to Can
ada, from whence they may again repeat
their attempt to enter our territory. our
law becomes practically dead letter"
