But in case the bill does violate a treaty. then the amendment saves our good faith in the force of a treaty obligation. Mr. Speaker. I repeat my entire sympathy in the purpose of this measure to compel alien residents to either do their part toward bearing the burdens of the country or submit themselves to deportation. But I should very much prefer to leave the matter with the State Department to be worked out through diplomatic channels than to supersede that method by action by this House. especially so long as there is a doubt of our clear right in the face of existing treaties.
