Mr. President. that is a diversion. There is no law. so far as my information now goes. which authorizes at the present time tile deportation of these Hindu prisoners. At least. they think so. and I think they are right about it. There is pending. however. a bill under which It is feared their deportation may be accomplished. I have undertaken myself to draft an amendment to that bill so that their .deportation may not be accomplished. but the thing has no relation to the matter of which the Senator speaks. Whatever crime these Hindus committed they did not commit in India. and there is no request for their extradition to India in order that they may answer for crimes committed against the British Government. If they are deported. it is because of crimes committed in this country. and against the dignity and the sovereignty of the United States.
