Speech #660031207

The associates that an Executive has about him. whose opinions and thoughts constantly percolate into his mind. whose busy and buzzing voices are continually explaining their peculiar economic Ideas. going upon the notion that most of the unfortunates of the world. everybody that has not a fortune. is a victim of society. that society made him poor and wretched and miserable. and that he represents a debt which the social conditions owe. that it is the infamous laws of the country that made these miserable unfortunates--Bolshevism has preached that and is preaching it from the office in New York. It took a State investigation and State authorities. backed by the forceful will of the New York State authorities. to reach into the den of this infamous crowd of alien vermin. take their documents. and expose them for what they are and the danger they propose. If there had been as much vigor displayed by the Federal authorities in rounding up and deporting those alien pests from our own land as was displayed by the New York State authorities. there would have been a mighty cleansing of our population from these great perils. I am not confining myself to the amendment especially before the Senate in Committee of the Whole. but. in a larger sense. the amendment I am considering is before the Senate until the bill is voted on. No apologies are required. therefore. for enlarging my remarks.
