Speech #650169339

I have tried to point out that doubtless what the Italian Government had in mind. when it objected to this bill was the second section of this bill. the one that provided for conscription. But that section has been stricken out. Neither the Italian Government. nor any other Government could suppose for a moment that this country had ever surrendered its right to deport undesirable aliens. The right is of the essence of national authority. I have tried to point out how undesirable these aliens are under present conditions. when they can not be reached either by this Government. or their own.
