It is for the Depqrtment of Justice that I think this appropriation should be made. so that its activities along that line will not be curtailed. There has been no complaint. as I understand it. upon the part of anybody against the Department of Justice for not being vigorous and active in its efforts to run down the anarchists and the alien agitators. I noticed in the paper this morning a statement nmade before the Committee on Rules by the distinguished chairman of tile Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. the gentleman from Washington . in which he took occasion to say. or. at least. he was reported in the paper.as having said. that the Department of Justice. in his judgment. had done its full duty. Now. as to whether or not the other departmnt. or any officer in that department. has failed to do his duty. I do not know. but the Departmeut of Justice is not charged with the responsibility of finally passing upon these cases. but it has the responsibility of ferreting out these particular individuals.
