That matter was fully investigated by the committee. and I think rightfully. although at first I was inclined to think that the order for internment should put the man lip for deportation. But we found that a number were interned at their own request because they were alien German subjects. and to avoid all complications they permitted themselves to be interned. And. in addition. there might be in the heat qf war some man who might have been interned without just cause. We believed that in justice to every one. while the matter is now passed over. that the man before being deported should .e given a full and fair opportunity to be heard. and if he can show an injustice to himself. that while he was an alien he was iot an enemy of this country and oughtnot to be interned. lie should have the opportunity to do so. Therefore we thought there should be a finding by the Secretary of the Interior of the fact that he should be deported.
