The Chief of the Division of Near Eastern Affairs, Department of State (Dulles) to Mr. C. V. Vickrey of the Near East Relief
Washington, October 13,
1922.
My Dear Mr. Vickrey: I am enclosing for your information a copy of Mr. Jaquith’s telegram No. 14 sent from Constantinople on the 11th instant through Admiral Bristol.
The question of the possible transfer of the orphans mentioned in this telegram has been brought to the attention of the Secretary. It would appear, however, that these persons could not all be brought in under the Turkish quota and that there is no authority to permit the entry of aliens in excess of quota without Congressional action.
Sincerely yours,
A. W. Dulles
