I wanted to address my question particularly to the chairman of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. He referred to the fact that we should provide money for the deportation of these undesirables already convicted of crime. I have knowledge of a case recently. in which a Chinaman was given eight years for selling dope to men of his nationality in St. Louis. We wanted to have him deported. but we were told by the Secretary of Labor that that was not an offense which enabled the Government to deport him. So I think that probably we have not laws sufficient to cover a case of that kind.
