The purpose of that was that if we could not provide ships during the period of the war to. deport them. then that after the war these men who have made themselves so disagreeable and undesirable must be sent out of this country and forever forfeit the right to become American citizens. Mr. Chairman. I have the authorities here that I could read on. these various questions. but they are so well established that I deem it unnecessary at this time to further call attention to the law giving us the right to deport undesirable aliens. A question of international law is involved as well as thequestion of treaty. but. gentlemen. this bill is so framed that. in my humblejudgment and in the judgment at least of a large majority of my committee. there is no infraction of a treaty and no violation of international law. Mr.
