As it is now. as I understand the gentleman. the Government of the United States maintains a large force abroad under the State Department to determine whether a man shall have the right to come to this country. and then maintains a large force in the United States under the Immigration Service to determine whether an alien who has come may enter the United States or whether he shall be deported. and also maintains anothei% large force under the Department of Justice to ascertain whether he shall be deported. How many more forces is it necessary to maintain instead of correlating these forces in one body? The gentleman said. as I understood him. that the State Department determine whether a man seeking a passport to come into the United States is a Bolshevist. I do not understand that the State Department confine themselves to any such activities. If in their whim they think a man ought not to come here. they do not grant him a passport. and if I am correctly informed. they have frequently refused to grant passports for some reason or other. because they thought a man ought to stay at 1ome. not because lie was undesirable to become a- citizen here.
