THE CASTRO DECISION.
The dtx-ision of the BscTstary of Com?

c??ptional extent of the authority with
whtch administrative officers are in
v??st*?d In the regulation of iinniigrntioiL
and sticcrests. loo, the poggtMUty of
ahu*?e of that power by an unicrupulous
or unreasonable official.
Mr. Castro la excluded nardet that
provision of law which bars from
entry any person who has been con?
victed <>f or who confesses Un? commis
?ion of a felony of a not purely political
nature. The crime charged against him
at that ho ordered, as President of
Venezuela, the arbitrary piittiiip: to
deatJi of Mr. Pared?-, who had been
?algased in a rebellion against him.
The sentence was executed without a
trial or h-arlne of any kind. It is held
by Secretary Nagel that this was not
a merely political offence, but a crime
involving moral turpitude, ami in thai
the majority will agree with him.
The point of interest is. however,
upon what authority is Mr. Castro held
to be guilty? He has never been <\m
victed of the crime, and he has never
confused that he committed it. dur
State Department has received state?
ments implicating him. which it be?
lieves to lie true; hut their truth has
not l?eeii subjected to judicial dcter
rtiination. Mr. Castro was asked
whether the charge was trim or not,
hut made no answer whatsoever, ami
Mr. Nagel regarded this gUsgsog us
tantamount t<? confession, for if Mr.
Castro was innocent there is no ap?
parent reason why he should not have
said s?>.
The interesting point is also raised
by Mr. Nagel thai Urn examination of
a would-be Immigrant differs radically
from ? criminal trial. The applicant
is act before a judicial tribuna!, but
before an admlnlstratlre body, and be
I
is seeking the enjoyment ?if a privilege
which is to in? granted to bun only on
condition of Ml proved lit ness It is

In th?1 present case probably few will
think that any injustice bas been done;
while certainly something lias been
gained in deciding thai su?h an act as
that witii which Mr. ?'astro i< charged
is no, a merely political offence but a
crime Involving moral turpitude.

not essentially invincible, particularly
