The minister. Mr. Chaffee. in his sermon last Sunday. gave a very nice explanation of why a communist is always permitted not to pay any attention to an oath. not to tell the truth in such inquiries as that held by the Immigration Committee. to jump his bail. whenever he thinks it advisable for the goodof the cause. Therefore. our committee is justified in taking their evidence with suspicion and doubt. But with the aid of the several skillful lawyers on the Immigration Committee. we have secured a great deal of information through crbssexamination. I would like to say now that the chairman of the committee [Mr. DICKSTEINI in the conduct of this hearing with many unruly and evasive witnesses. was both patient and fair.
