I would like. to ask the gentleman if llis attention has been called to the definition of anarchist as given in the immigration law. and if he does not think that the same definition. placed in this section as the official statutory definition. would be clear? This is the definition given in the immigration law. Among those who are prohibited from coming to this country areAnarchists. or persons who believe In or advocate the overthrow by force or violence of the Government of the United States. or of all forms of law. or who disbelieve in or are opposed to organized government. or who advocate the assassination of public officials. or who advocato or teach the unlawful destruction of property. Does not the gentleman think that with that official statutory definition attached to the word "anarchist" it would be what is intended in this statute?
