representative declared would result
in parents being admitted and their
children sent back because they hap
pened to arrive after the country's ad-
mittance quota had been filled. In
his reply. Mr.. Harding said:
Dishonesty, Says President.
81 haven't any doubt in the world
but the enforcement of the immigra-
tion laws is working many q hard
ship. My own distress has been very
great over some of the specific i'm
stances which have been reported to
me.
.If / have the situation correctly
presented, the difficulty must BE- charg-
ed to the dishonest steamship agents
who have brought to this country in
nocent immigrants in spite of our con-
tinued warnings during a period of
very great leniency. / know how
very persistent have been the imposi-
tons which have been mades on the
government agents. who have been
disposed to be sympathetic,>and more

However, l am sending your letter
