My guess would be that we have fully as much power to hold them responsible as we have to hold the President responsible if lie should make a mistake. I can not sympathize with that part of the argument. althougi I do strongly sympathize. as the Senator fromIowa knows. with the proposition that it is. ordinarily. undesirable to see such tremendous powers given to the Executive authority over citizenship and its processes. Yet I must confess that in this moment of national stress. in this moment of national trial. when the very existence of this country may be at stake. and when we are proceeding to naturalize people who occupy at least the legal status of alien enemies. I feel that it is not wrong to give the Government that much authority. Now. that is the reason.
