That authority was exercised recently in refusing a visa to Shapurji Saklatvala, Communist member of the British Parliament. Last year it was exercised in a different manner: Countess Catherine Karolyi, wife of the onetime President of the Republic of Hungary, had been admitted to the U. S.

...denying the right of free speech, the question is legally not parallel to a case where public discussion might be denied to a person resident in this country; for, if the Count should speak out, he would not be deported for speaking, but for obtaining his visa under false pretenses; that is, under the pretense that he would not speak...
