It Is an outrage to welcome them as guests. What possible reason. alibi. or excuse can Miss Perkins have for admitting such visitors? There are undoubtedly many others. including Emma Goldman. the anarchist who was deported 15 years ago. who have been permitted to return to the United States under the regime of Miss Perkins. One of the reasons given for recognizing Soviet Russia was that we could then deport the Russian Communists back to their native land. where they could enjoy the lack of freedom of speech. the oppressive laws. and miserable wage scales that they have been accustomed to in the past. But what has happened? Few. if any. Russian Communists have been deported. and evidently the Department of Labor is not planning to deport them. Can it be the Soviet Government will not take them. or is It that Miss Perkins refuses to carry out the intent and purposes of the laws passed by Congress? The recognition of Soviet Russia should be withdrawn. as It was a gigantic hoax perpetrated upon the American people by the President and the " brain trust." Propaganda emanating from the " brain trust " promised American business men and southern cotton growers a billion dollars worth of trade with Soviet Russia. provided we granted recognition.
