I am afraid that legislation of this character carried into peace times would prove a dangerous precedent and would be a justification for the invasion of the States by the Federal Government with respect to matters purely local or intrastate--matters affecting the health and the welfare of the individuals within the State. In conclusion. I want to repeat that we have statutes now that authorize the deportation of aliens who are confessedly seeking to accomplish the destruction of the Republic. I hope the Department of Labor will enforce the statute and will see to it that Martens and the members of the New York Russian soviet and the alien radicals who announce their purpose to overthrow this Republic are speedily arrested and deported.
