They are -permitted to enter. It is demonstrated.by the report made to the War Department on the selective draft that some of these are the ones that ought .to be excluded. There ought to be restrictions in the immigration laws .not only prohibiting those %-ho are in the other class of laborers who do.not come within the purview. and there.should be no wideopen provision as it now -stands admitting those simply designated as doctors. -lawyers. artikts. and travelers to enter this country. There should -be proper restrictions. The provisionsof this -bill authorie .the President for a year. until legislation -is enacted. to exclude Boishevists. anarchists. and all -other undesirables. and that is -wat ought to be done. They are coming to this country. They are here now..* some highly educated. who come. here as lecturers to preach and promulgate their propaganda. Something has been said about the Immigration -Committee making a report on .this subject. A :bill was reported out last year. and we hope within a short time that another bill will be reportedout to thisCongress -that will not only make provision whereby the laboring :men who do notcome -within -the general law .and proper rfles and regulationsthat there will be restrictions -placed upon those now in the exempted class. There is no need of our overlooking the fact. as has been .said by the gentleman from Illinois. that in our universitiesand the names .have been given of men who preach against the principles of this Government.
