"whether the State department knows
what Its policy is or not. or whether It
knows what its policy will be tomorrow,
or next year, or fifty years from now.
Certainly a statement on this point could
bo no more than an opinion."

If you wunted to know whoro n certain person in

at every houso in town until you located that person.
But if you turned to tho city directory you
would expect to find his name 'there, wouldn't

Then, is it reasonable to expect other peoplo to
walk through tho streets of the city when they aro
