Speech #650273131

The word has been somewhat confused in that some contend an anarchist must mean one who believes in the destruction of government or property by force or taking of life by overt acts. The real interpretation of the word is one who is against all forms of government and destruction whether by force or otherwise. and the man who teaches anarchy or who teaches opposition to all organized government. whether lie himself participates in the force. is more dangerous than the man who actually applies the force. because you can procure a lowtype man to commit the force and he is driven on to that act by the man with knowledge and with experience and one who Is familiar with and has dealings with men. So the purpose of this bill is to reach into the teachings of those people who have been going from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and from tie Canadian line to the Gulf. teaching this doctrine of opposition to government. and while not becoming naturalized remain here as aliens and subjects of another country. Now. the law we propose in this bill is to reach them irrespective of the time they may have been in this country and to return tlem to tle country from which they came. It is unfortunate for the country at the present time that this has not been the law in the past and that it has not been rigidly enforced.
