Mr. Chairman. the purpose of that amendment is to reach the amendment which we offered in previous portions of the bill excluding and making deportable those who advocate the destruction of property. It is a felony on the part of those who aid anarchists to enter this country in violation of the law. and the committee did not think it was right to make a felony of the offense of aiding one who advocates the unlawful destruction of property to enter. and hence have made it a misdemeanor. with a large discretion in the court or the jury trying the same as to the penalty imposed. In other words. those who aid in bringing in those who advocate or teach the destruction of property are guilty of a misdemeanor. Those who aid an anarchist to enter are guilty of a felony.
