Mr. President. I have received a number of letters and conmmnications from citizens of my State and other States calling attention to the pernicious activities. the crimes. and violence of the Industrial Workers of the World andother kindred organizations against the Federal Government and requesting that Congress enact additional legislation. if the present law is inadequate to handle the situation. and punish the acts of the lembers of such organizations. which are such a menace to the Nation.. I have also received a number of communications asking the interlnment or deportation of a number of naturalized citizens who are disloyal to the Government and requesting the Federal Government to immediately take the necessary steps In the various districts of the United States to cite before the Federal courts those persons who obtained naturalization papers fraudulently or who ar e disloyal and have.those papers canceled. and that after the cancellation of the same the holders of the papers be either interned or deported. LV378 I did not care to burdefi the RECORD. but felt that the substance of the communications should be stated at this time.
