Air. Clirmlan. it v. as never contenled on this floor by any gentleman who opposes this bill that this Governalent does not have control of tile question of deportation. and therefore the case cited by the gentlemn is no answer to our argument. The contention is that we have I specific treaty with Italy and with other countries that prevented us front itii]lio lling the nationals of those countries to reader military service of any kind to this country. and that this bill contains i moal and it physical compulsion to render 1military servie--i moral compulsion by ie denial of the right to iectom :1 cliiz. : a physical compulsion by deportation. The conpulitn is lint direct. not open nod manly. but. nevertheless. it is.a cmnpulsory military service in violation of our treaty with Italy of 1871 and in violation of treaties with other nations. I think this proposition is clear. and no subtlety of reasoning can change it.
