I may say to the Senator that I assume not. because this Government now exercises the right of deportation in inany cases up to a residence of five years. and in respect to thq whiteslave traffic the limitation is entirely removed. It is intended to place anarchists of this sort in the same category in that regard as the whiteslave traffic. There is no limitation as to the time. But the Senator has put his finger on the exact point. When a person becomes an anarchist after coming into this country the bill subjects him to deportation. and I may say to the Senator that It is contended by the department that anarchists come in here and conceal their anarchistic views for the period of five years. and are coached by their fellows. and after the expiration of the five years they then enjoy immunity under the law. A number of aliens of that description are now giving considerable annoyance to the department and stirring up considerable agitation in the country. and I may say frankly that it Is in order to get rid of those anarchist aliens that this legislation is brought in.
