been made to It's consideration. The
speaker replied that circumstances would
have TO determine the matter In some
cases the printing of the document might
DE necessary to explain the action of
the House. In this event, as the re-
guest was for reading ana printing, an
objection would keep it out of the Rec
ord. The resolution was as follows:

II tnues untustly and fore!bly to collect

whereas, the Turkish government neith-
fer permits such naturalized American cit
izens to re-enter its territory to visit their
families, nor, on the other hand, allows
these families to come to this country;
