My attention being called to an ar.

OF even date, and headed, "Perel-
Strous Back Again-Labor Agent Re-
turns From Mainland to Talk With
Russians Here" | desire To simply
say that whoever has given you the
information has tried to mislead you,
as the Canadian laws specifically re,
qulre that all immigrants to that
country must be citizens or natives
of the country from which passage is
taken, |. e., Russian from the Unit
ed States or Hawaii would not be
allowed entrance into Canadian ports
