President. that is not "liberty". that is "license" of a dangerous and deadly character. I want a citizen always to have a right to criticize his Government. I want him to have the right to say wherein it is going wrong. and wherein it should be restrained. where its conduct should be changed. and all that. but whenever one of these flannelmouthed foreigners gets into this country and stands on his soap box and curses the flag and damns the Republic he ought to be dealt with severelyhe ought to be deported. he ought to be gotten out of this country. Whenever they attempt to get into this country literature which preaches sedition or treason. we ought to stop it at the border line. and destroy it. and put heavy punishment upon the person who seeks to bring it in. We are talking about the most vital thing that.affects the life of the Republic at this moment.
