The most effective and the most righteous action this Government ever took was when it collected 58 of these disturbers. who would make a soviet in any country where they landed. and took them across the continent aind started them back to the respective countries of their origin. Such alien vagrants and disturbers. advocating violence. have no place in our country. I hope the immigration authorities and the Federal Governument will continue that course mltil the germs of any possible soviet government ill this country shall have been deported to the land where they belong. I can not refrain from reminding the Senate here that tile greater part of the persons deported would be ablo to pass any educational test required in the recently enacted immigration laws. The educated firebrand is the most mialevolent and dangerous of all. Ill Russia. no doubt. a soviet government could break out in any locality.
