I realize that. The public seems to want action on quite a number of things by the House Committee on Immigration. Members of the House. in speeches. call for this and that. But only yesterday we saw three corrective bills killed for want of unanimous consent. I appreciate the work done by the members of this subcommittee. I know it is through their personal efforts this year that you will find in this bill an increase for deportation purposes amounting to half a million dollars. in addition to that which has already been given heretofore. Our Immigration Committee has been asking some one to make that move for several years past. I am glad the Appropriations Committee has at last taken that step. because others of us who have seen the deportation machinery slow down for want of funds can now see more action. I am afraid. however. if certain contemplated legislation does get through. which would cause the deportation of revolutionary alien communists. the straightout enemies of this country. a supplementary appropriation will have to be granted for another half or threequarters of a million dollars. I say that in the face of so many proposals for the appropriation of large sums of money that if many of the proposals are adopted then an extra session of Congress will have to be called to provide ways and means to raise the money. And under the Federal incometax system it would seem that most people believe that there is a pot of gold at the rainbows end.
