WILSON of Louisiana. KNUTSON of Minnesota. and VAILE of Colorado. They will recall the efforts of Judge RAKER to write into that act a distinct definition of international communism and of communists who would destroy the Government by force. so that such red communists might be placed in the excludable and deportable classes of undesirable aliens. Oh. how he labored for that. Every kind of amendment he offered. every kind of definition. in an effort to differentiate the communist who would work with force and violence against government. and against the right to hold property. as different from communists of the type of someof our old New Englanders. who founded community settlements. I wish now that we had used any one of the definitions which Judge RAWER offered. even at the risk of having Congress assailed as it now is by those International subversists. which charge that the word "anarchist" enacted in our immigration act is nothing but a verbal brickbat. Gentlemen. on this occasion of tribute to JOHN E. RAKER in these days of rapidly developing subversive movements against the Government of the United States. may I not call on each and every one of you to remember the iron of duty in RAKERS otherwise gentle makeup. to remember the strength with which he stood for his Government. which is our Government. and I ask you to solemnly swear with me that so long as we live this Government shall not be broken down by boring from within. nor wrecked by those who would come among us with impossible political Ideas and the dangerous political nostrums of European countries. which have made wrecks of nations and Individuals.
